(2) Has this program, or one similar to the program proposed by Lorana Bartels, Wayne Applebee and Paul Collis, referred to in part (1), ever been funded by the ACT Government; if so, was there an evaluation of the program; if not, why was funding refused.
Mr Rattenbury: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
No formal funding submission was put to the ACT Government for the Circuit Breaker program and the ACT Government has not funded this program or any similar programs.
