The Premier is not aware of any Ministers or Parliamentary Secretaries who are members of organisations who have received funding via the Local Projects Local Jobs election commitments.
The Premier has been advised that he is not a member of any organisation that received funding under this commitment in his electorate of Rockingham.
He expects all members of Parliament to be active and engage with their local communities and organisations.
An example of this would be the member for Riverton who pledged $1 million at the 2013 election to the Willetton Sports Club when he was patron to the club.
