House of Assembly Fifty-Second Parliament, First Session (52-1) 52 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Julia Farr Association JULIA FARR ASSOCIATION Ms CHAPMAN House of Assembly Bragg JULIA FARR ASSOCIATION Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg) (14:40): When was the Treasurer first made aware of the $5.1 million that had been transferred to the Julia Farr Association—in contravention of funding approvals granted by cabinet—in order to avoid the carryover policy? In this year's Auditor-General's Report, he has identified that $2.92 million and $2.15 million in disability equipment funding was paid to the Julia Farr Association in June 2007 and June 2008, respectively. The Julia Farr Association did not, and does not, provide disability equipment. The Auditor-General has identified that one of the factors for transferring the money to the Julia Farr Association was the risk of not retaining the funds through an approved carryover process.

FOLEY House of Assembly The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: I will come back to the house with a detailed answer, but what I will say is this: I was made aware of that matter some months ago. It is not in any way, shape or form comparable, in my view, to the stashed cash affair. The money was used for the purpose for which the budget appropriated it.
