Bill agreed to.

That the Assembly do now adjourn.

MR STEFANIAK (Minister for Education and Training and Minister for Housing and Family Services) (6.44): Mr Speaker, I just informed Ms Reilly that I would be making a short statement in relation to a question she asked me. I have some further information in relation to that. The submission for 1995-96 she referred to was signed off by me in January and went to the Federal Minister for approval. Since February there has been a change of government. The submission fully expended all allocated funds for 1995-96, with a forward commitment for 1996-97 of $230,000 for CHASACT. Considering the changes to the Commonwealth-State housing arrangement and the Federal funding constraints, no commitment can be given that funding, either whole or part, for 1995-96 will be carried forward if the new Federal Minister does not approve the submission before 30 June 1996. I will be contacting the new Federal Minister to chase up this matter, Mr Speaker, and I have informed Ms Reilly accordingly.
