In reply to Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (18 November 2020). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

The Auditor-General has advised the Passenger Transport Act 1994 prescribes the reporting date so there is no mechanism for an extension of time if the Auditor-General sees fit under that act. The Auditor-General has also advised if additional work is required on the probity processes, he has existing powers under the Public finance and Audit Act 1987 to conduct further work and put in a separate report under that act.
