ACT public service—expense claims
(Question Nos 2064 and 2068)

Mr Seselja asked the Chief Minister and the Minister for Territory and Municipal Services, upon notice, on 23 February 2012 (redirected to the Treasurer):

(1) How many instances have there been of contested, inappropriate or queried expense claims in the Minister’s directorate.

(2) How many times have claims for expenses been denied.

Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) Expense claims in each directorate are subject to scrutiny and review by authorised financial delegates before any claim is approved for payment. Directorates’ financial management systems only record approved expense claims data, upon receipt of properly authorised payment paperwork. Therefore records of expenditure cannot be interrogated to identify claims not approved for payment.

(2) See response to (1).

ACT public service—workplace investigations
(Question No 2065)

Mr Seselja asked the Chief Minister, upon notice, on 23 February 2012:

How many workplace investigations/reviews have been (a) requested and (b) carried out in the Minister’s directorate.

Ms Gallagher: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

In 2011-2012 to date there have been no investigations or reviews requested or carried out within the Chief Minister and Cabinet Directorate.
