Labor Party—election commitments
(Question No 1471)
Mr Smyth asked the Minister for Business and Economic Development, upon notice, on 16 February 2011:
(1) In relation to ACT Treasury’s Summary of Labor Election Commitments dated 17 October 2008, has the Government implemented its 2008 election commitment to fund a business marketing strategy in order to grow and sustain the market for the export of education services; if not, why not; if so, what work was undertaken towards delivery of this commitment and how much was spent on that work during the 2009-2010 financial year.
(2) If actual and committed expenditure did not equate to the Treasury costings for the 2009-2010 financial year, why not.
(3) What evaluation has been undertaken of the implementation of this program and can the Minister provide a copy of this evaluation.
Mr Stanhope: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
Details of the implementation of Government programs are routinely provided in relevant Budget papers, Annual Reports and the mid-year Budget Review.
Further advice is made available to members through the Budget Estimates and Annual Report hearings processes.
Relevant information is also available in the Mid-Term Report on Achievement of Election Commitments released in October 2010. The Report is available at www.chiefminister.act.gov.au/uploads/ot/election_commitments_report.pdf
