I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) $243 750 in the early 1990s. (2) Historical records immediately available indicate that since 2000, the Fremantle Arts Centre Press recorded an operating loss in 2003 and 2004. (3) As a non-government organisation, the FACP is independently audited each year by an auditor appointed by the FACP board. (4) The past three audits on record show that the audits were carried out in 2002 by Francis A. Jones and Associates Pty Ltd and in 2003 and 2004 by Metcalf Spahn. (5) The 2005 annual report has been completed but it is not yet available to government. Therefore, the last audit is not available.
