Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1100 asked in the Legislative Council on 15 October 2020 by Hon Peter Collier

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

LOTTERYWEST — PREMIER

1100. Hon PETER COLLIER to the Leader of the House representing the Premier:

I refer to the Premier's response to question without notice 1078 asked on Wednesday, 14 October 2020.

(1) Do any other criteria exist for the consideration of grants from Lotterywest other than those identified on the Lotterywest website?

(2) If yes to (1), what are these criteria?

(3) What checks and balances exist to ensure that the processes for grant selection of Lotterywest adhere to the act?

(4) Has the Premier not approved any grant proposals submitted to him by the Lotterywest board since 11 March 2020?

(5) Has the Premier or any member of his staff had any discussions with any member of the Lotterywest board about any submissions for grants from the Victory Life Church in 2020?

(6) If yes to (5), who was involved in these discussions and when did they take place?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1) Yes.

(2) The criteria are contained in the Community Investment Framework, as published in Lotterywest's annual report and tabled in response to question without notice 1056.

(3) Risks, controls and processes are reviewed regularly through internal and external audit processes.

(4) Yes. The grant for the Royal Agricultural Society for the 2020 Perth Royal Show was not approved because the decision to cancel the show was made between the board's recommendation for approval and the ministerial sign-off.

(5) No.

(6) Not applicable.
