A Labor MP suggests NDIA officials could have been 'inappropriately cultivated' by a US software firm that holds a lucrative contract.
NDIA officials failed to declare trips to luxury restaurants and golf clubs paid for by a US company they have a contract with.The Public Accounts and Audit Committee will table a report with recommendations next week.
Salesforce representatives took NDIA staff to high-end Melbourne restaurants such as Gimlet at Cavendish House, Stokehouse, Vue De Monde, and in January 2023 to the French Brasserie restaurant, for a meal that cost more than $1,100. Federal Labor MP Julian Hill, who chairs the Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit looking into the activity, says Salesforce's practice is troubling.
"And yet, we received evidence in a public hearing from the CEO of the NDIA that no gifts were declared under the NDIS gift and hospitality policies on their gift register.The MP says the committee is determined to uncover inappropriate dealings across government departments.
