ONE MOVEMENT FOR MUSIC — FINANCIAL REPORT
I refer to the financial report on One Movement Pty Ltd for the year ended 31 December 2010 that the minister finally released to me under FOI. (1) When was the minister first advised that One Movement was not complying with the Corporations Act and trading at a loss? (2) Did the government continue payments to One Movement as part of its $2.95 million commitment after it was advised that One Movement was in financial trouble? Dr K.D. HAMES

(1)–(2) I have to say that I have not spent a lot of time dealing with issues relating to the One Movement Music Festival for a very good reason; that is, as the member knows, this is an issue being investigated by an upper house committee. That committee has been going through what was done in detail. This was obviously before my time; the festival was largely managed by Tourism WA under the guidance of the former Minister for Tourism. I have been provided advice that aspects of what was proposed for the One Movement Music Festival were not successful; that not as many people turned up to some events as was anticipated. The board and chair of Tourism WA are still supportive of the One Movement concept; they are still of the view that it may be possible to get that to be a successful event. Mr J.N. Hyde : Even though you got an independent financial report saying that One Movement was broke and that it was not complying with the Corporations Act? You got that two months before the parliamentary inquiry. Dr K.D. HAMES : As I said, there is a committee of the upper house dealing in detail with this issue and I think it is appropriate that we wait to see its report, see what its recommendations are and then, as minister, I will pay attention to what they are.
