On behalf of the Minister for Corrective
Services, I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question.
(1) No.
(2) No. The
State Solicitor's Office has advised the Department of Corrective
Services that it is its view that the document in question is arguably not
sufficiently connected to the management, administration and reporting of the
state's public finances to constitute information concerning ''any
conduct or operation of an agency'' for the purposes of section 82 of
the Financial Management Act 2006.
