Supplementary answers to questions without notice

Justice—parole conditions

Electricity—feed-in tariff

MR RATTENBURY: Earlier today I was asked some questions about parole in the ACT by Mr Hanson and Mrs Jones. I would like to note that if somebody is on parole, they can also apply to ACT Corrective Services to transfer their order to another jurisdiction. This is provided for under the Crimes (Sentence Administration) Act. That is in addition to the comments I made earlier.

I was also asked in question time by Mr Coe about the audit being undertaken on and with Evoenergy. I was remiss to not mention at the time that Evoenergy has made a public statement noting that no customer will be out of pocket as a result of any Evoenergy data reporting discrepancies, and that customers with questions about their feed-in tariff can contact Evoenergy on 13 23 86 if they have detailed questions about this matter.

I was also asked when the matter was first raised with the minister. The then Environment and Planning Directorate briefed the former minister in December 2015 and expressed concern about the information provided by the distributor in relation to the small and medium scale feed-in tariff schemes. The then minister agreed that the directorate would write to the distributor and seek a response on the steps it would take to ensure data quality issues were resolved. I was asked who the auditor will be. The auditor will be Protiviti. The cost of the audit is $22,975.
