AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. It should be noted that prior to Ms Buckland’s appointment she had been the executive director marketing at Tourism WA since March 2008. Ms Buckland’s responsibilities included leading Tourism WA’s domestic and international marketing activities, including consumer and trade marketing, public relations and research. Ms Buckland brings 14 years of private sector marketing experience to Tourism WA from the packaged goods and financial services industries. She has an undergraduate degree in marketing awarded by the Pennsylvania State University in the United States of America and a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Virginia, USA. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : It must be a bad answer! Why are you justifying it all? The PRESIDENT : Order! Let us hear the answer. Hon NORMAN MOORE : I think the member should just lie down for a while! She should take a valium while she is at it! It should also be noted the previous CEO appointed by the former government was provided with the following remuneration package—a salary of $308 729 a year; cash in lieu of motor vehicle to the value of $22 000 a year; and an employer contribution for superannuation of $37 047 a year. The answer to the question is — (1) Ms Buckland’s salary as acting chief executive officer of Tourism WA is $225 000 a year as determined by the Salaries and Allowances Tribunal. (2) Additional benefits include $22 600 for a motor vehicle—based on group 3 minimum-tenured remuneration—and superannuation at nine per cent totalling $20 250. (3) Ms Buckland has a five-year senior executive service contract in respect of the executive director marketing position. Ms Buckland has provided a copy of her contract, which I will table. On 12 January 2010, Ms Buckland was issued with a six-month direction to act in the position of chief executive officer of the WA Tourism Commission pursuant to section 51 of the Public Sector Management Act 1994.

The PRESIDENT : Order! Let us hear the answer. Hon NORMAN MOORE : I think the member should just lie down for a while! She should take a valium while she is at it! It should also be noted the previous CEO appointed by the former government was provided with the following remuneration package—a salary of $308 729 a year; cash in lieu of motor vehicle to the value of $22 000 a year; and an employer contribution for superannuation of $37 047 a year. The answer to the question is — (1) Ms Buckland’s salary as acting chief executive officer of Tourism WA is $225 000 a year as determined by the Salaries and Allowances Tribunal. (2) Additional benefits include $22 600 for a motor vehicle—based on group 3 minimum-tenured remuneration—and superannuation at nine per cent totalling $20 250. (3) Ms Buckland has a five-year senior executive service contract in respect of the executive director marketing position. Ms Buckland has provided a copy of her contract, which I will table. On 12 January 2010, Ms Buckland was issued with a six-month direction to act in the position of chief executive officer of the WA Tourism Commission pursuant to section 51 of the Public Sector Management Act 1994.
