QuestionView source ↗
In relation to the thousands of free tickets given away to the One Movement concerts due to the lack of paying customers, I ask:
(a) will the Minister ensure that her own Financial Register and those of her tourism officials, record the true financial value of her attendance and hospitality at One Movement events; and
(i) if not, is this due to commercial-in-confidence considerations surrounding the $3 million sponsorship; and
(b) as the Minister’s press release on One Movement stated there were obvious economic benefits being generated through visitation to the State, will the Minster outline the real financial operation of One Movement?

(a) As Minister I am routinely required to attend and open events on behalf of the Government. My attendance at One Movement for Music was in accordance with my official duties as Minister for Tourism and at no cost to the organisers. With respect to tourism officials, I can confirm that Tourism Western Australia meets all its financial management requirements under the
Financial Management Act 2006
and is subject to audit by the Auditor General.
(a)(i) Not applicable.
(b) The financial operation of One Movement for Music is monitored by Tourism Western Australia and involves budget authorisation, payments based on the proven achievement of agreed milestones and the provision of an audit of financial records by an independent auditor.
