(Question No 1696)
Mr Pratt asked the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, upon notice, on 26 September 2007:
In relation to the Auditor-General’s report into the Firelink project which observes in paragraph 1.9 that there were related costs that weren’t included in the final figure, can the Minister advise what the total final costs of the Firelink project were, inclusive of Agency and Authority staff and finalisation of the contract with Australian Technology Information.
Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
