AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The phrase “explicit scope notes” in this context means further information that describes the documentation contained in the records. The purpose of this was to ensure that the commission understood the nature of the records to facilitate approval of the record-keeping plan. (2) The term “disposition” refers to the disposal sentence applied to categories of records within the retention and disposal schedule, which forms part of the record-keeping plan. A disposal sentence may allow for records to be either archived permanently with the State Records Office or destroyed after a set period. Some financial or personnel records might fall into the latter category. No records have been destroyed to date. (3) The specific records for which the State Records Commission requested clarification relate to categories of research, transcripts and submissions of evidence. (4) At the completion of the Gordon inquiry, all records were forwarded to the Department of the Premier and Cabinet. I understand that the department intends to involve members of the former inquiry in this process. (5) I understand that the Department of the Premier and Cabinet scheduled this project as part of the planned approach to record-keeping processes applied to records it accepts from other agencies; for example, royal commissions and inquiries. The State Records Commission will be able to complete its review once the plan is resubmitted.
