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.
