I refer to the ‘Putting the Public First’ Economic Audit Committee report of October 2009, and in particular to recommendation one which was to strengthen the communication of Government’s priorities to ensure clear accountability for the achievement of outcomes by Agencies, through streamlining existing processes to provide more explicit directions to Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), and I ask -
(1) Which of the following milestones contained in recommendation one have been achieved -
(a) Cabinet submission recommending administrative changes, including but not limited to better alignment between CEO performance agreements and Agency resource agreements (end of 2009); and
(b) drafting any necessary legislative amendments (November 2010)?
(2) If any of the above milestones contained in recommendation one have not been achieved, why not?
