  • P2608f-2612A Hon George Cash
    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL - Thursday, 31 May 2007] p2608f-2612a Hon George Cash ESTIMATES OF REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE Consideration of Tabled Papers Resumed from an earlier stage of the sitting. HON GEORGE CASH (North Metropolitan) [4.35 pm]: Before question time I was indicating that, each financial year, generally in May, the government makes a statement that it will spend so many billions of dollars for the financial year. Only 30 to 50 days later - by 30 June - it is spending much less. I indicated that in 2001-02, in 45 days, $153 million worth of works went missing or did not occur; in 2002-03, over 53 days, $350 million went missing; in 2003-04, over 55 days, $355 million went missing; and in 2004-05, over 35 days, $453 million went missing. I was up to 2005-06. On 11 May 2006, the government announced that it would spend $5.1 billion on infrastructure and general capital works for the financial year. Fifty days later, on 30 June, the actual expenditure was $4.527 billion. During that 50-day period, for some inexplicable reason, $573 million worth of construction of general infrastructure and capital expenditure did not occur. Adding up those figures shows that, in May and June of the years I have mentioned, the total underspending was $1.9 billion. I acknowledge that in some cases projects were rolled over to the next year, there were cost escalations in other cases, and there were, no doubt, some other reasons. However, it beggars belief that the government can make a statement in May that it will spend a specific amount of money, and then a matter of weeks later change that figure by millions and millions of dollars.

    38 2000 Tobacco Industry Projects—a Listing (173 pp.) Project “A”: American Tobacco Co. plan from 1959 to enlist Professors Hirsch and Shapiro of NYU’s Institute of Mathematical Science to evaluate “statistical material purporting to show association between smoking and lung cancer.” Hirsch and Shapiro concluded that “such analysis is not feasible because the studies did not employ the methods of mathematical science but represent merely a collection of random data, or counting noses as it were.” Statistical studies of the lung cancer- smoking relation were “utterly meaningless from the mathematical point of view” and that it was “impossible to proceed with a mathematical analysis of the proposition that cigarette smoking is a cause of lung cancer.” AT management concluded that this result was “not surprising” given the “utter paucity of any direct evidence linking smoking with lung canner.”112 Project A: Tobacco Institute plan from 1967 to air three television spots on smoking & health. Continued goal of the Institute to test its ability “to alter public opinion and knowledge of the asserted health hazards of cigarette smoking by using paid print media space.” CEOs in the fall of 1967 had approved the plan, which was supposed to involve “before-and-after opinion surveys on elements of the smoking and health controversy” to measure the impact of TI propaganda on this issue.”113 Spots were apparently refused by the networks in 1970, so plan shifted to Project B.
