QUESTIONS ON NOTICE › Resources and Energy and Tourism: Government Programs, Iniatives and Decisions (Question Nos 2417 and 2418)
Senator Chris Evans: The Minister for Resources & Energy and the Minister for Tourism has provided the following response to the honourable senator's question: The Department of Resources, Energy & Tourism does not brief on electorate-by-electorate dissections for actual or potential Government programs. The department does however routinely provide briefs that set out government expenditure in specific electorates. These briefs generally coincide with a ministerial visit for a grant announcement, for example, T-QUAL grants and the like. The information provided in these briefs includes information on Commonwealth government programs, investment and expenditure.
