Electorate officers—Morton review
817. Hon Philip Scott to
the Leader of the House representing the
Premier:
On 12 June, I
attended a round table held by Hon Ben Morton to discuss the independent review
into employment arrangements of electorate officers in WA.
(1) Given this round table discussion occurred
more than four months ago, when will the government table this report to
Parliament?
(2) Why did the government not require the
completion of Hon Ben Morton's review before it provided select members of this
place with extra staffing resources?
(3) When will the government provide equitable
staffing resources to all members of this place?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1)–(3) The final report of the
independent review of the employment arrangements of electorate officers has
been completed and is currently under consideration by the Western Australian
government.
