PUBLIC TRUSTEE — FEES

965. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the minister representing the Treasurer:

I refer to the answer to my question without notice on 18 October 2022 that confirmed that the Department of Treasury has in its possession the review commissioned by the Public Trustee in 2020 and that it will consider it as part of the current review it is undertaking.

(1) On what date was the decision made by the Department of Treasury to commence a review of the Public Trustee's self-funding model as recommended by the Auditor General?

(2) Who was the most senior person to have made that decision?

(3) Will the Treasurer table the document that confirms the date the decision was made?

(4) Will the Treasurer table the 2020 review?

(5) If no to either (3) or (4), will the Treasurer undertake to comply with section 82 of the Financial Management Act 2006?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The following answer is provided on behalf of the Treasurer.

(1)–(3) The Department of Treasury provided a response accepting the Auditor General's recommendation on 8 August 2022. The response was signed by the Acting Under Treasurer and was published in full in the Auditor General's report, released on 10 August 2022.

(4) Yes. I now table the review.

(5) Not applicable.
