MEMBER FOR KWINANA — UNFAIR DISMISSAL CASE
359. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the minister representing the Deputy
Premier:
I refer to the decision of the
Public Service Appeal Board on 5 January 2023 in which the commissioner found
that, according to my notes —
� it has not escaped our attention
that as recently as 2 March 2020 the minister's chief of staff had
alerted the minister to a suspicion that the Kwinana electorate office staff
had excessive amounts of leave accrued and may not have consistently applied
for leave that was being taken.
(1) Since the
date of the alert, has the minister authorised leave only by signing an
application consistent with the leave being taken?
(2) If no, why not?
