(1) In view of the guidelines, why has no action been taken for the automated extraction of expenditure on specific items such as ‘restaurant bills’ from credit card transactions?
(2) How can such transactions be accountable and transparent if there are no such facilities for simple extraction?
(3) Have any inquiries been carried out as to the process and cost involved in providing for such ‘automated extraction?’
(4) If no to (3), why not?
(5) Does the Minister believe that the people of Western Australia are not entitled to such information?
