AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question. The Water Corporation advises that - (1) No. (2) Not applicable. However, I refer the Leader of the Opposition to my answer on a related issue yesterday. I want full accounting and disclosure by the corporation, and, accordingly, I have requested that the corporation provide me with the full particulars of any corporate box entertainment incurred since its inception in 1996. I table a document that provides details of additional expenditure incurred in July 2002 during the 2002 Bundaberg Rum Rugby Series. The cost involved was approximately $6 670. I have also sought full details from the Water Corporation in respect of any other corporate box entertainment activity on the part of the manager, corporate business development. When that information is to hand, I propose to inform the House of it. [See paper No 1939.]
