Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 163 asked in the Legislative Council on 26 May 2021 by Hon Peter Collier

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

LOTTERYWEST GRANTS — CHURCHES

163. Hon PETER COLLIER to the Leader of the House representing the Premier:

I refer to the Premier's response to question 1036 asked on Wednesday, 8 October 2020 and to document 337 of the Lotterywest FOI, reference 20/1862.

(1) Why was the response to the answer provided by Lotterywest to the Premier's office replaced with ''(1)–(3) Decisions on grant applications from LotteryWest are made by the LotteryWest board, which is independent of Government''?

(2) Why was the response to question 1036 from Lotterywest redacted from the FOI document?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. I assume the member is referring to his question without notice on Wednesday, 7 October 2020.

(1) Ministers are responsible for answers provided to Parliament.

(2) As the honourable member would be aware, his FOI document shows that it was redacted under clause 12(c) of schedule 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 1992, on the basis that the public disclosure of that matter would infringe the privileges of Parliament.
