In relation to the Minister’s failure to answer Question on Notice No. 3795 regarding State funding of
The Graduate
, citing commercial-in-confidence reasons, and also light of the fact that the Auditor-General’s 23 March 2011 report found that it was not appropriate for the Minister for Culture and the Arts not to provide such information to Parliament, I ask:
(a) did the Minister seek advice from the Solicitor-General on the information requested, and will he table that advice; and
(i) if not, why not;
(b) did the Minister rely on advice from the third party, in contravention of the Auditor-General’s best practice advice and will he table any third party advice received; and
(i) if not, why not;
(c) has the Minister fully complied with section 81 and section 82 of the
Financial Management Act 2006
, including the 14 day timeframe to report to the Auditor-General on why the Minister failed to provide financial information to the Parliament; and
(i) if not, why not; and
(d) will the Minister table any written advice received on why the Minister should, or should not, have released this information; and
(i) if not, why not?
