I refer to answer to question on notice No. 1047, and I ask: (a) the 'ministerial vehicle' used to access the Perth Stadium on 1 March 2018, is that a vehicle owned by the Minister and chauffeured by a Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC) driver, or a DPC vehicle chauffeured by a DPC driver, or some other arrangement; (b) is the Minister provided with a DPC motor vehicle or does the Minister claim the motor vehicle allowance provided by the Salaries and Allowances Tribunal; and (c) how does the Minister access Perth Stadium by motor vehicle given the current ban on private vehicles and ride sharing services?

(a) DPC vehicle chauffeured by a DPC driver
(b) DPC motor vehicle
(c) The current ban on private vehicles and ride sharing services is only in place during sporting events/concerts at Optus stadium - I attended a dinner event at the Goodwood Restaurant when there was no event being held at the stadium, and therefore the vehicle ban was not operative.
