In view of the article in

What redress has been sought for the unsuccessful tenderers of the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre?
(2)
What steps has the Treasurer or his officers taken to protect the legal position of the State's taxpayers so that they are not exposed to strong legal claims to redress and/or compensation from the unsuccessful tenderers or from subsequent additional financial claims upon the state either from the successful proponent or any future operator of the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre?
