I refer to the Twitter Account @SarahMcGowanWA, which I note
was authorised by the Labor Party during the 2017 State Election and ask: (a) Does anybody in the Premier’s office post content or have password access to this account; (b) Does anybody employed in the Premier’s office create content, such as the production of photographs for this account: (i) If so, what are the job titles of the people involved in creating the content; (c) Does anybody employed in the Department of the Premier and Cabinet (not including those in the Premier's office) create content, such as the production of photographs for this account: (i) If so, what are the job titles of the people involved in creating the content; and (d) Is this account considered a record under the State Records Act 2000 : (i) if not, why not?
