62342 (2024). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for State Owned Enterprises

62342 (2024). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for State Owned Enterprises: How much has the Independent ferry service advisory group cost so far, and what is the budget for this financial year?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: The Treasury advises me that $300,567.63 excluding GST has been spent to date for the Ministerial Advisory Group (MAG). This amount is less than my answer to WPQ 43744 (2024), due to the difference between the accruals and actuals. The MAG has ceased its work and therefore there is no further budget for this financial year. For completeness, one member of the former MAG and the Senior Marine Manager have been engaged by the Treasury to support its advice to Ministers.
