(a)-(f) While this office sends innumerable emails each day, I assume you are referring to the standard email informing members that the Minister would be in their electorate.
For the member’s information, the Minister’s only engagement for the 9 November 2018 in the South Metropolitan region was the Industrial Relations Society’s State Conference in Fremantle. Excluding transit time, the engagement was for 1.5 hours. The Minister was accompanied by a ministerial adviser.
For the benefit of the honourable member, that email (as do all notification emails of that nature from this office) contained contact details if he required further detail.
