A Tasmanian business owner says he has no issue with disclosing the help his family had received from government to survive the COVID pandemic — as a powerful voice joins calls for the list of businesses who received up to $15,000 in assistance to be made public.

The Parliamentary committee examining the Tasmanian Government's spending on coronavirus has called for the list of small businesses that received $26 million in taxpayer-funded hardship grants to be publicly released.

She has instead provided a confidential copy of the list to the MPs on the Public Accounts Committee. Public Accounts Committee Ivan Dean wrote to Ms Courtney on Thursday afternoon requesting permission to release the list of recipients. "If that doesn't occur, the committee will obviously consider the response received from the Minister and we would have further discussions on where we could go from here."

Good idea to be transparent to prevent corruption or fraud.
