Auditor General's report into the Ord–East Kimberley

(2) Did the
minister or his office receive an offer of a briefing from the Auditor General
prior to the report's release?

notification or advice did the minister receive from the Department of State
Development about the response from that agency contained within the Auditor
General's report?

thank the Leader of the Opposition for the question. My recollection is that I was
offered a briefing. My director general gave me a heads-up, and I had a briefing
note from the agency.
