QuestionView source ↗

I refer the Premier to the Auditor General’s public sector management report on the use of consultants in three agencies, which found a massive understatement of expenditure in all three agencies. Will the Premier instruct every agency to withdraw its current reports to government and resubmit them, after correcting all the areas referred to in the report, so that the public has a true and proper disclosure expenditure on consultants by this government?

This question would have been more appropriately addressed to the Deputy Premier who, of course, is the minister assisting me in public sector management. I guarantee the house that all of the findings of the report will be taken into account by the government. Further, they will be acted on, as was indicated earlier today by the Deputy Premier.
