QuestionView source ↗
In relation to the poorly attended One Movement events and Eventscorp funding of them, I ask:
(a) prior to releasing funds to One Movement entities, what probity or auditing activities did the Minister’s agencies undertake to ensure that suppliers who provided One Movement or its associated entities with services included in the funding agreement had actually been paid;
(b) has the Minister, her Ministerial office or portfolio agencies been made aware of complaints by suppliers who have not been paid for services they provided to One Movement;
(c) has the Minister, her Ministerial office or portfolio agencies been made aware of complaints by suppliers who have not been paid in full for services they provided to One Movement and are being pressured to accept lesser payment; and
(d) what reason was offered by any complainants as to why some One Movement entities were unable to pay in full, or at all, for agreed services?
