the minister representing the Treasurer:
This question is asked on behalf of
Hon Dr Steve Thomas, who is on urgent parliamentary business.
I refer to the hearings of the
Public Accounts Committee of the Legislative Assembly into the COVID-19

on the committee's website and in which the Under Treasurer told the
committee —
� in Treasury we get a weekly traffic
light report about how each of these stimulus measures have been rolled out and
how they are tracking, and if there are any issues that need to be addressed.
(1) Is the weekly traffic light
report given to the Treasurer or his office?
(2) Will the
Treasurer provide a copy of the latest weekly traffic light report?
(3) If no to (2), why not?
(4) If no to (2), what has been the
total expenditure to date for each of the following stimulus measures —
(a) residential tenancy grants;
(b) land tax relief;
(c) small business grants;

deferred payment scheme;
(e) payments to employers of
