(1) Was the $5 million of Crisis Marketing funds provided from consolidated revenue to the WA Tourism Commission in the 2001/2 budget?
(2) If yes, where in the financial statements of the 2003/4 budget papers is this sum of $5 million shown as coming from consolidated revenue?
(3) Why does page 884 of the 2003/4 show a drop of over $4 million in ‘Investments’ from the 2002/3 Budget to the 2002/3 Estimated Actual, the drop occurring in a period when significant expenditures were made from the Crisis Marketing funds?
(4) Why does page 885 of the 2003/4 budget papers show a ‘Decrease in Cash Held’ from the 2001/2 Actual to the 2002/3 Budget of more than $4 million, the drop occurring in a period when significant expenditures were made from the Crisis Marketing funds?
