BUNBURY
DOLPHIN DISCOVERY CENTRE
1293. Hon BEN DAWKINS to the parliamentary secretary representing the
Minister for Regional Development:
I refer to question without notice
1278, and specifically to the answer provided to part (2) of that question
referring to bailout funds provided to the Bunbury Dolphin Discovery Centre.
Given
that the term ''creditors'' is non-specific in this context, can
the minister confirm what, if any, of the $985 000 which ''resolved
outstanding liabilities to creditors'' were payments made to former
staff, CEOs and board members?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice
of the question. The following answer has been provided by the Minister for
Regional Development.
Information on payments made by the
administrator, RSM Australia, is held by Bunbury Dolphin Discovery Inc, which
is not a state government agency.
