QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:13): First, in relation to flydubai, there is the pilot involved in that horrific attack. I understand that there is a joint counterterrorism team comprising the AFP, Victoria Police and ASIO. They have confirmed they're investigating the man's links.

I'm obviously not going to comment on anything that is relevant to that investigation. More broadly in relation to grant funding, I think all political parties, including your party, make public election commitments to community groups, including multicultural community groups, and that is appropriate. I think your party also made such commitments.

Any government funding is provided with the expectation that organisations conduct themselves in line with guidelines and funding agreements and in accordance with the expectations of the taxpayer. All of the multicultural grants are administered in accordance with the Commonwealth Grants Rules and Principles, the government grants framework and the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013.

If any activities breach these, obviously funding will be reviewed.
