Dear Mr Parkinson,

I am writing in reference to the matter of a payment that was made to a former Executive in the ACT Public Service.

I have received correspondence about the matter that raises a number of concerns about the particular payment. Copies of the relevant correspondence are attached.

The former Director of the Budget Management Branch received reimbursement of relocation costs to Sydney after his resignation.

However, the applicable Public Sector Management Standard, Standard 14, Rule 10.8, that operated at the time appears to only apply when an Executive has completed a fixed term appointment, engagement or term transfer and not upon resignation.

I would be grateful if you could investigate this matter to determine if the transaction was in accordance with:

I look forward to your reply.

Yours Sincerely

SIMON CORBELL MLA
