INSURANCE
COMMISSION OF WA — 2013–14 MIDYEAR REVIEW
60. Hon KEN TRAVERS to the
minister representing the Treasurer:
I refer to the deletion from the text of the 2013–14
midyear review of any mention that the financial aggregates were based on the
Insurance Commission of WA paying a dividend.
(1) Is the
Treasurer responsible for deciding what risks are included in the statement of
risks of a midyear review?
(2) If no to (1), who is
responsible?
(3) Did the
Under Treasurer consider that the need for legislative changes to allow the
Insurance Commission of WA to pay a dividend was a risk that should be included
in the 2012–13 midyear review?
(4) If no to (3), why not?
