I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Ms Marshall’s job title is director of government media, and she is employed in accordance with section 68 of the Public Sector Management Act 1994. (2) Her package is $175 182. (3) Ms Marshall receives $148 717 in salary, and $14 465 in superannuation, plus an allowance of $12 000. This allowance is in recognition of her skills and experience for the role, and of the fact that she has elected to forgo a government-supplied vehicle and retain her own private vehicle for work purposes. (4) No. (5) Ms Marshall’s salary package reflects differences between her role and that of her immediate predecessor. It should be noted that Ms Marshall’s salary classification rate is identical to that of the director of communications in the Premier’s office under the last Labor government, Mr Kieran Murphy.
