Just to confirm, honourable member,
I represent the Treasurer in this place. I thank the member for some notice of
the question.
(1)–(4) The
Auditor General Amendment Act 2022 has not been proclaimed while feedback from
the Auditor General on its proposed implementation is being carefully
considered. Existing protocols as outlined in the Cabinet handbook have
been in operation under successive governments since 2007 and continue to
operate.
