QuestionView source ↗
The Office of Government Procurement produces an annual report titled
Who Buys What.
This annual report is released into the public domain; however, the report for 2008–2009 has not yet been made publicly available. I ask:
(a) on what date will the 2008–2009
Who Buys What
report be released into the public domain;
(b) what are the specific reasons for the 2008–2009 report not being released to date;
(c) will the information be relevant despite being released almost 12 months after the end of the reporting period; and
(d) will the Treasurer guarantee that the quarterly reports for
Who Buys What
will be released within one month of the end of each quarter (for example, the Public Sector Commission already releases quarterly reports in the public domain for the public sector workforce); and
(i) if not, why not?
