The information being sought by the Member is not readily available. I would advise that information systems used in agencies are designed to address operational and statutory requirements and don’t necessarily facilitate the ready provision of the information being sought by the Member. However, in April 2001 the Labor Government honoured its election commitment to reinstate the 30-day payment period that was extended to up to eight weeks by the Coalition Government. This decision benefited thousands of Western Australian small businesses by effectively halving the time some businesses were forced to wait for payment. Under current Government policy, except where the terms or conditions of a contract provide for alternate arrangements, all payments are to be made within 30 days of the receipt of the creditors claim or provision of the goods or services.
