PREMIER — LONDON
VISIT AND CHINA VISIT
400. Hon PETER COLLIER to the Leader of the House
representing the Premier:
I refer to the minister's
response to question without notice 379 asked on Wednesday, 16 May 2018.
(1) Why was Nobel
Laureate Professor Barry Marshall not included in the original delegation list
as provided in question without notice 221?
(2) What criteria were used to
select the tourism operators who joined the delegation?
(3) Who selected the tourism
operators who attended the delegation?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Professor Barry Marshall travelled separately as
he was in Asia en route to China. The Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and
Innovation met the marginal cost of his participation in Shanghai, which
included delivering a keynote speech at the research collaboration luncheon on
Monday, 13 November 2018.
(2)–(3) It
is requested that the honourable member direct these parts of the question to
the Minister for Tourism.
