Auditor-General's Report

In reply to the Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (30 October 2024).

The Hon. A. MICHAELS (Enfield—Minister for Small and Family Business, Minister for Consumer and Business Affairs, Minister for Arts): I have been advised:

Sundry income is typically income into the program from other presenters, grants, catering and ticketing charges.

The primary reasons for the increase to this line in 2023-24 are as follows:

$566,000 relating to co-presenters' income. Adelaide Festival managed an Australian tour for an artist, charging a fee to other presenters for fees and travel, matched by outgoing fees to the artist.

$255,000 in increased other grants.

$75,000 higher in cost recovery for Adelaide Writers Week, such as where other presenters in Australia contribute to costs of international authors.
