In relation to comments in
The West Australian
on 6 October, 2010 by Eventscorp executive director David van Ooran that the 2009 One Movement visitors injected close to $1.4million into the Western Australian economy, I ask:
(a) will the Minister table audited financial information proving this assertion; and
(b) given Eventscorp, Healthway and other Government bodies injected over $1million into One Movement in 2009, is an unproven $400,000 return comparable to other Eventscorp sponsorships?

(a) Refer to question on notice 2686.
(b) The One Movement for Music Festival is a new event in the development stage that delivered a range of benefits over and above the injection of $1.36m into the WA economy from interstate and overseas visitor spend last year, including:
· National and international publicity via television, print, radio and online exposure from 286 event specific media items.
· Tangible outcomes and opportunities for local, national and international performers from exposure to many of the world's influential music industry leaders and decision makers.
· Reinforcing Perth's reputation as a major music hub and breeding ground for upcoming bands.
· Complementing and enriching Perth's vibrant arts and cultural scene, and adding to the atmosphere of the inner-city entertainment hubs.
· Providing a different and unique event for thousands of Western Australians, as well as interstate and overseas visitors, who were entertained in the streets of Perth and at a variety of venues around the city.
As One Movement for Music is multifaceted and the benefits it generates are quite different, it is not possible to compare it with other events that receive Eventscorp sponsorship.
