Debate resumed.
MS HUNTER (Ginninderra—Parliamentary Leader, ACT Greens) (2.04): Once again we have witnessed increased funding to crisis response services in the ACT that are delivered to children, young people and families. We recognise that this type of response is unfortunately always needed, and any funding put towards the vulnerable within the community is always welcome. I am, however, concerned that little funds are allocated towards prevention or early intervention. In fact, we have seen some of these critical programs, such as youth centres and their role in early intervention, severely restricted. The ACT Greens have concerns about the implications this has for the long-term health, wellbeing and prosperity of young people in the Canberra community. We believe there needs to be a shifting and a refocus on early intervention and prevention. This is a better way; it is a great investment; it is also fiscally and socially better for the community.
