Mr BURKE - 2002-10-08
Again, as part of your due diligence on this club, minister, are you or your officers also aware that, in 2001, $15 000 in sponsorship money was provided by two companies to the Arafura Sports and Community Club? Nowhere does this money appear on the club’s accounts. Minister, was this anomaly investigated by you or your department and, if so, what action does the government intend to take?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I can assure the Leader of the Opposition that we are aware of some of those questionable deals that were done by a previous manager of that club. We will be pursuing any wrongdoing with that individual, and if it is proven that any money that was due to go to the club from whatever source during the time that that person was managing did not reach the club, then he will be prosecuted.
