Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1308 asked in the Legislative Council on 24 November 2020 by Hon Michael Mischin

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

LOTTERYWEST GRANTS — RISK ASSESSMENT

1308. Hon MICHAEL MISCHIN to the Leader of the House representing the Premier:

I refer to evidence regarding the operations of Lotterywest taken by the Standing Committee on Estimates and Financial Operations on 19 November 2020.

(1) What is the risk assessment applied to applications for grants that may otherwise have merit?

(2) Precisely what are the criteria against which Lotterywest assesses risk?

(3) If harm is one of those criteria, how is that harm assessed and against what objective standard?

(4) Is a detailed assessment of harm recorded to ensure transparency, accountability and consistency on the part of the Lotterywest board; and, if so, how; and, if not, why not?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

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

I was advised that the member was advised that the Premier was not available to answer questions today. I do not have an answer today. However, he has given an undertaking to provide a response tomorrow.
