Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1999 Week 7 Hansard (2 July) . . Page.. 2155 ..
Mr Kaine asked the Chief Minister, on 21 April 1999:
In relation to the $774,000 paid to Nationwide Venue Management for the marketing of Bruce Stadium:
1. from which bank account are payments being made; and
2. what proportion of the $774,000 represents payments for professional services for which half a million dollars has been budgeted?
Ms Carnell: The answers to the Member's questions are as follows:
1 . The payments are made from the Bruce Operations Pty Ltd bank account.
2. The total fee for the Nationwide Venue Management (NVM) contract is paid in equal monthly instalments. The budget breakdown was indicative at the time of tender of the likely application of monies across the various areas of activity. NVM has been asked what proportion of the payments made relates to professional services but has declined to provide the information in response to the Member's question. The company has indicated, however, that it will provide more detailed information if required by the Auditor-General as part of his performance audit.
Mr Kaine asked the Chief Minister, on 22 April 1999:
In relation to payments to contractors working on the Bruce Stadium project:
1. Can the Chief Minister tell us at this stage how much has actually been paid to the contractor?
2. Has the final contract been adjusted to put the contract price at $32m or whatever the blow-out figure is as opposed to the originally contracted figure of $27m?
3. Will the Chief Minister also find out where the additional money has come from, from whom it has been borrowed, by whom it has been borrowed and what are the terms and conditions of that loan?
