SCHOOLIES WEEK

The Hon. S.G. WADE (15:14): Following on from the question and the minister's answer, has the event organiser, Encounter Youth, approached the government for any financial assistance? What was the response of the government?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister Assisting the Minister for Health) (15:15): I do not have the answer to that question. I am not aware whether there has been any approach. I am happy to take that question on notice and bring back a response but, in terms of the Drug and Alcohol Services—the agency I am responsible for—it has quite an outstanding role in the planning up to this event and also in providing support and assistance at that event.
