GOVERNOR'S
AIDE-DE-CAMP — INSPECTOR PAUL NEWMAN
211. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the
Minister for Police:
I refer the minister to question without notice 94 asked on
Tuesday, 21 February 2023.
(1) What position did Inspector Newman hold prior to taking
the role of aide-de-camp?
(2) What is the current salary of Inspector Newman?
(3) Who held the position as aide-de-camp prior to Inspector
Newman?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question. The following information has been provided to me by the Minister for
Police.
The Western Australia Police Force advises —
(1) He was an inspector.
(2) It is an inspector salary.
(3) The Western Australia Police Force does not
coordinate Government House activities, including the duties of an
aide-de-camp, and does not have access to further information. The appointment
of an aide-de-camp is consistent with the
past practice of Government House. The permanent appointment of an aide-de-camp also mirrors that of other official houses located throughout the various
states of Australia.
