I refer to the Minister’s answer to Question on Notice No. 3421 (1)(b) on 14 August 2018 that $1,425,538.22 including GST was spent on new lighting tracks for the Art Gallery of WA, and ask: (a) how does the Minister reconcile that figure with the statement in the
Art Gallery of WA 2017-18 annual report that the State Government provided
total funding of $1,000,000 to the project; and (b) where did the additional money come from to fund the lighting project: (i) did any of the extra funding come from the State Government’s annual
appropriation to the Art Gallery of WA; and (ii) if yes, how much money?
