Right now the task force has been told that there is no allocation for its group. Mr. Walsh will appreciate that, from a local representative's point of view, it does look like the Department is running down the clock on this. This has been going on since 6 July and the task force is still not in receipt of funds. In any community engagement there is always work to be done on governance and there are always ways to make things better and ensure good governance but I have yet to see any proof that there is not good governance in this particular group. Nobody has put that in black and white in front of me. There is an implication here that, since the group has been told there is no funding allocated, there is some strangulation of this organisation. We are in 2022 now. It marches onward and the people of the north-east inner city desperately need those services.
