AnswerView source ↗
A decision has been made that the One Movement for Music Festival will not be funded this forthcoming year because the success of that program was less than anticipated. I am sure that the member will recall that his government signed up this particular company to undertake — Mr J.N. Hyde : Not when it was broke. It did not even exist until you came on the scene. The SPEAKER : Member for Perth! Dr K.D. HAMES : Sometimes when a company performs a task and seeks funding, it is not until the conclusion of the year, when we look back at the past events of the year to see what the revenue was, that it becomes apparent what things, such as a company being broke, have occurred. The issue was about deliverables; it was about One Movement delivering the services that the government wished it to provide. That is the question; that is what is being investigated in the other place, and I think that the member should sit back patiently and wait for his colleagues to make a presentation to this Parliament and tell us whether what was done was correct, whether things need to be changed, and what we should do in the future. The committee has been made — Mr J.N. Hyde : But you have already made the decision to delay this year’s festival, but will still allow it to go ahead next time. Dr K.D. HAMES : I have not made that decision. The board of Tourism WA has made that decision based on information and the results that it had from the last year and I think that that is appropriate. Therefore, we are doing a review of that company to see whether it should be doing that in the future.
