I emphasise again that the I am aware and Minister Andrews is aware of the concerns of these organisations and of the uncertainty they are experiencing at the moment. It is a function of being a new government that comes into an environment where the budget is in deficit and where we do have significant debt that we do want to carefully and methodically work through what are the appropriate arrangements for supporting community organisations. Obviously we recognise the vitally important work that they do. We are working to provide advice in the near future to these organisations.
