QuestionView source ↗
I refer to a document titled ‘Rights, Responsibilities and Obligations, A Code of Conduct for Public Servants’ dated June 1988 and question on notice No. 485 of March 11 2003 -
(1) Given that the above code of conduct for public servants in part states ‘It is important also, for fairness and the possibility of external review, that decisions affecting individuals should be properly documented, setting out the evidence and the reasons for the decision made’ can the Minister explain why the departmental briefing notes and files do not contain properly documented evidence and the reasons for the decision made concerning Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines Pty Ltd environmental bond?
(2) If no to (1), why not?
