Subject: RE: A QVMAG Matter
Ray,
As I have repeatedly indicated to you in numerous email responses the powers and authority of the General Manager are set out in Section 62 and 63 of the Local Government Act 1993. I suggest you read these specific provisions. Section 62 (2) indicates that the General Manager may do anything necessary or convenient to perform his functions under the Act or any other Act.
I will not be engaging in ongoing commentary with you on these matters.
Regards
Robert

Subject: A QVMAG Matter
Dear Robert,
Since you have not responded to my letter in response to your ‘Christmas Letter’ I can only conclude that Council has not delegated ‘QVMAG policy determination’ to you. Nonetheless, a source close to Council, who for obvious reasons wishes not to be named, says:
- That you have, or are about to, appoint a consultant;
- That the consultant is be commissioned by you to make recommendations regarding QVMAG governance; and
- Specifically, is being requested by you to provide guidance to do with the implementation of Council’s August determination.
If its not the case, indeed what in fact is the situation – from your operational perspective – regarding the implementation of Council’s determination?
We are now something over five months away from Council’s determination and there has been no reported progress in regard to this matter. Therefore the question hanging in the air here is, when will this determination be implemented and by whom?
Beyond that, what is the purpose of the secrecy that appears to be surrounding this issue thus far? And indeed, when do you actually expect that the policy will be implemented?
I feel duty bound to say that Council has as they say, ‘form’, in regard to the non-implementation of Council determinations to do with QVMAG’s governance and management – albeit largely before your time. Nonetheless, Council’s recent record in regard to the QVMAG is to say the least dilatory by any reasonable standard if not negligent.
I look forward to your early response to these questions and especially so if the information provided to me is in any way flawed.
Regards,
Ray

Subject: QVMAG Matters& RTI
Good morning Robert,
Having given your recent letter some thought a series of questions arise. The first being to do with ‘governance authority’. Are you now telling me that governance authority for the QVMAG has been delegated to you? If so I would appreciate your confirmation or otherwise in regard to this.
The other question I require your early response to is as follows, do I now need to gain your clearance in regard to access to the QVMAG’s collections? If so, what constraints, if any, are you contemplating in order to achieve the “balance” you speak of?
In addition, I have an outstanding ‘Right to Information’ application in process which seems to be taking an extraordinary length time to resolve. I’m therefore asking you for an estimated date/timeline for this matter to be drawn to its conclusion.
I look forward to your early response.
Regards,
Ray

Subject: Re: Letter re: QVMAG
Dear Robert,
Thank you for your letter today (COPY ATTACHED) but I must say that I’m somewhat confused about its contents and timing given that I have had no recent contact with the QVMAG albeit that I have an outstanding matter relative to one of my works in the collection.
Currently I’m far too busy to respond to your letter in the manner it deserves but I shall do so in the new year when my work load will have abated and my timelines have been met.
Regards,
Ray
