The Member would be aware that as part of the Liberal-National Government's commitment to transparency and accountability, quarterly travel reports are published by the Department of Premier and Cabinet. These reports detail the dates of interstate and overseas travel of all Government officers and the purpose of this travel i.e. conference, seminar or meetings. Also included in these reports are the cost of the travel, the destination and the names of the officers and Ministers who undertook this travel.
I encourage the Member that if he has a specific question about a specific travel arrangement of a Minister or Government officer, he is welcome to submit another question on notice - in all other cases, I refer him to these travel reports which can be found at
