Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 26 asked in the Legislative Council on 4 May 2021 by Hon Peter Collier

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

LOTTERYWEST GRANTS — VICTORY LIFE CENTRE

26. Hon PETER COLLIER to the Leader of the House representing the Premier:

I refer to the Lotterywest grants program.

The PRESIDENT: You can take off your mask.

Hon PETER COLLIER: Oh, I can; I apologise. Thank you, Madam President. That sounds much better and it feels better.

(1) Other than the Margaret Court Community Outreach, have any organisations or churches had their Lotterywest grant application rejected because the values of that organisation or church did not align with those of Lotterywest?

(2) If yes to (1), which organisation or organisations, church or churches, and what particular values did not align with those of Lotterywest?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1) Yes. Lotterywest's policy is not to support churches for their faith-based endeavours.

(2) Lotterywest does not publicly discuss grants outcomes, other than with the grant applicant.
