LINK COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION PTY LTD, WEST PERTH
I refer to the recent announcement that Link Communications Corporation Pty Ltd, a nationwide outsourced call centre provider with an office in West Perth, is to double the size of its operations in South Australia, and ask - (1) Is the minister aware that, following the expansion in South Australia, the Link Communications call centre in West Perth will be closed at the end of this year with the loss of some 55 jobs? (2) Can the minister confirm that, with the impending closure of the Link Communications call centre in West Perth, calls from the Western Australian public to agencies such as Homeswest will be answered from the call centre in Adelaide? Mr BROWN

AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(2) I thank the member for the question. I was not aware of the details about Link Communications, but it is of some concern to the Government that the call centre is being moved. Other state agencies currently have contracts, signed by the previous coalition Government, under which Western Australian calls are answered outside the State. The Government is currently in the process of finding out where all those contracts are, and what can be done to relocate them into Western Australia. The coalition Government signed those contracts, and work disappeared out of Western Australia into other States. This was quite deliberate. My own constituents have asked me why, when they made calls to agencies, the people answering the telephone did not know where their suburbs were. This was because the people answering the telephone were not located in Western Australia. This is a matter of concern to the Western Australian Government, as it should be, even though it was not a matter of concern to the previous coalition Government, which entered into interstate contracts for call centre operations for Western Australian departments. Mr Johnson: Which departments, and in which year? Mr BROWN: There are a number of departments, and as soon as the Government has all the information available, it will be provided to the Opposition, which will then be seriously embarrassed. The member for Hillarys was the minister responsible for the former Department of Contract and Management Services in the previous Government. Perhaps he can tell the House whether he can remember any contracts being agreed to by the coalition Government for call centre services located in other States. Mr Johnson: I cannot remember any going to other States, but I remember the one up at Joondalup. Mr BROWN: Can the member remember any others? Mr Johnson: They were probably before my time. Mr BROWN: Before his time! That is a great one! It was before his time and he cannot remember! The member for Hillarys has all the old excuses! The Government will bring the information into this Parliament, and then we will see how good the memory of the member for Hillarys really is. These matters are important, and that is why the Government is carrying out a review. If there is an opportunity for additional call centre work in Western Australia, the Government wants it to be done here, unlike the previous coalition Government, which turned its back on these opportunities.
