(a-e) The Department of the Premier and Cabinet has not employed Ms Tirzah Bell as a ministerial officer since 23 September 2008. However the Department accepts that she did perform some services during the period 30 September to 13 October 2008 prior to gaining the support of the Office of the Premier and the appointment being considered by the Ministerial Merit Panel. When the engagement was not approved, Ms Bell, through her agent, sought compensation for the services undertaken and the expectation of an ongoing appointment. The matter was settled between the parties by the payment of $15,000 and a Deed of Settlement and Release was entered into.
