(b) alcohol; (c) labour hire; and (d) other incidental expenses?
(c) labour hire; and (d) other incidental expenses?
(d) other incidental expenses?
I draw the Member's attention to Premier's Circular 16 of 2001 which provides for Expenditure on Official Hospitality, including food and alcohol, and which requires all Ministers to act in accordance with the clear set of guidelines. It states that the expenditure on hospitality should be restricted to a level consistent with the responsibilities of public sector officers. All public sector officers and public sector bodies need to be scrupulous in their use of public funds and establish reasonable criteria for the accountability of expenditure. The Guidelines are substantially the same as Circular to Ministers No4/95 issued by Premier Court.

The detailed information requested is not readily available. Provision of this information would require considerable research, which would divert staff away from their normal duties, and I am not prepared to allocate the State's resources to provide a response. If the member has a specific inquiry I will endeavour to provide a reply.
