In relation to funding approved for the Public Relations arm of the Marketing Division of Western Australia Tourism, I ask:
(a) how much funding was budgeted for the promotion of the One Movement for Music festival through public relations and/or the marketing division;
(b) as this funding is not listed in the Minister’s answer to Question on Notice 1457 regarding One Movement funding, was this funding additional to the $800,000 Eventscorp funding of One Movement in 2009 as part of the three-year $2.7 million commitment; and
(c) how much in-kind support by staff within the Minister’s portfolio or agencies was provided to One Movement;
(d) can the Minister confirm that her agencies/portfolio directly funded two Japanese people to attend One Movement, and was this additional to the $800,000 support;
(e) can the Minister confirm that these two paid attendees have not been included in the tabulation of the 75 international delegates needed for One Movement Pty Ltd to receive $100,000 or the additional 25 international delegates needed for One Movement to receive a further $25,000; and
(i) if not, why not; and
(f) can the Minister please list any and all additional spending by the Minister’s agencies/portfolio on One Movement attendance, lunches, marketing and any other associated activities concerned with One Movement outside the 2009 $800,000 commitment?
