Incubator Support Initiative Duty Statements
Dear FOI team,
I would like to see the Incubator Support Initiative Duty Statements executed by the AusIndustry Head of Division on 8 May 2019.
I would also like to see the reasons due to which these statements were executed in May 2019 (almost 3 years after program commencement).
Yours faithfully,
Harry Witherspoon
