The outgoing Health Department boss has told a Senate inquiry she has no record of a quickly organised meeting with Sport Australia officials over the sports rorts saga, because she has destroyed her notebooks. Glenys Beauchamp was called to give evidence to a Senate investigation into the handling of a contentious $100 million sports grants program which the auditor-general has criticised as politically biased. Senators grilled her over a teleconference with former Sport Australia chief executive Kate Palmer and chair John Wylie which took place hours after Ms Palmer had been shown a colour-coded spreadsheet by then-sports minister Bridget McKenzie’s office. “I have destroyed all of my notebooks and notes,” Ms Beauchamp told Labor senator and Opposition sports spokesman Don Farrell.
