I refer to question on notice No. 653, answered on 10 April 2018, and I ask, with reference to the Minister's answer to part (c) that 'On both occasions the aircraft was required to return to its Perth Airport base.' and that the first identified flight was from Perth to Busselton with a Senior Policy Adviser aboard without a Minister present, is the answer correct?
