AnswerView source ↗
Mr Dolphin was not
removed from his job. The position within Tourism WA was subject to machinery-of-government changes, as was Tourism WA. As a consequence, that position no longer existed
and Mr Dolphin received the payout that he was entitled to, which I had nothing
to do with.
