QuestionView source ↗
In relation to the February 2010 alleged financial analysis of the October 2009 One Movement festival conducted by Synovate for One Movement and only involving 118 spend interviews, I ask:
(a) why do the detailed findings not include caterers at the festival who were charged $1,500 for a site and incurred $10,000 in losses due to One Movement not delivering the audiences promised;
(b) why doesn’t Eventscorp accurately include the net losses of participants in the economic analyses;
(c) under “lessons learned”, the analysis states that despite the number of interstate and international delegates being much lower than expected, they just fell short of their target, completing 53 out of 60 interviews. How many interstate and international delegates actually attended in 2009 and 2010, compared with the original expected attendance Eventscorp based their sponsorship agreement on?

(a - b) The work conducted by Synovate in February 2010 does not include caterers at the festival because the study was designed to measure Economic Impact which calculates the inflows (i.e. new money into WA from interstate and international visitors) less the outflows (WA money leaving WA). This method of measurement is endorsed by the Department of Treasury and Finance.
