I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(3) The Premier has spoken to and/or met with
secretaries of several unions, as well as business and community leaders. The CPSU–CSA raised the issue of COVID-19 and how it may
impact on not only their members, but also the entire state. For more
information on our plan for non-frontline public servants, I refer the
honourable member to the answer to his question without notice 275.
