A member of parliament has renewed calls for an inquiry into NSW
Premier Gladys Berejiklian s office after a report found
evidence of documents being shredded relating to a $250 million
grants scheme.
The State Archives and Records Authority report determined that

documents.
However, the Authority has revealed that they will not be taking
any action, leading to outcry from many.

renewed his calls for an inquiry into the alleged grants
An NSW watchdog has found Gladys Berejiklian s office breached the State Records act when it shredded policy documents relating to a controversial grants program. The NSW State Archives and Records Authority (SARA) wrote in a report released Friday that the decision to shred and delete so-called working advice notes relating to the Stronger Communities Fund was in breach of the State Records act. The authority finds that the Office of the Premier breached section 21(1) of the State Records Act with the unauthorised disposal of the working advice notes, the SARA wrote. That section of the act prohibits the disposal of a state record unless approved by the SARA.
