QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator DUNIAM (Tasmania—Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate) (14:13): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. The Albanese government reportedly awarded almost $70,000 in taxpayer funded grants to the multicultural youth centre in Melbourne, an organisation now under scrutiny following revelations about the accused flydubai terrorist's alleged connections to individuals who were affiliated with that centre.

Has the government suspended or terminated these grants, and is it taking any steps to recover the funding already paid?
