WESTERN POWER — OVERSEAS TRAVEL
(1) Can the minister confirm that Western Power managing director Doug Aberle took annual leave overseas recently? (2) Was there any work-related aspect to this trip or any expense incurred by Western Power? (3) What expenditure did Western Power incur for staff and executive overseas travel and associated activities in 2010–11 and to date in 2011? The PRESIDENT : I am not sure whether the first part of that question relates to the minister’s portfolio responsibilities. The private business of somebody on leave is their business. I will refer it to the Minister for Energy. Hon PETER COLLIER
