for Finance:
I refer to reports in WAtoday from

frame for the general and external upgrades to be completed?

time frame?
(4) Will the state be entirely responsible for
tendering out the fit-out for those floor spaces leased by the state government?
(5) If no to (4),
how much of the $29 million will then have to be returned to Georgiou for
fit-out costs?
(6) Does the complicated sale arrangement represent
gold-standard transparency?
Several members interjected.
