Mr DUNHAM - 2002-10-17
On 18 June this year, you told the House that you had been advised your department would come in on target. You said:
I am saying to you that I have been advised that we are going to come in on budget, and that is as much as I would like
to say at this stage.
When did you find out that your department would not be coming in on budget, and when were you advised that in fact you would be coming in at almost $9m over budget? Have you counselled the person who gave you that erroneous advice, or is that the departed CEO of your department? Why do the figures for your department in the budget books issued almost almost two months after the end of the financial year not reflect the true figures now revealed in your annual report?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I thank the honourable member for his question. These same questions were brought up in the Estimates Committee and were answered at that time. At that stage, I answered the questions, so did the Acting CEO of my department, and so did the Under Treasurer. We have already provided these answers, Madam Speaker.
Mr DUNHAM: A supplementary, Madam Speaker?
Madam SPEAKER: No, not at the moment.
