I refer to questions on notice Nos 4491, 4492, 4493, 4495, 4496, 4497, 4498, 4499, 4450, and ask -
(1) For each of these questions, has the Minister tabled a notice under section 82 of the
Financial Management Act 2006
in respect of the information he did not provide?
(2) If no to (1), why not?

The
Minister for Transport
advises:
(1) The answers to Questions on Notice 4307, 4491, 4492, 4493, 4495, 4496, 4497, 4498 and 4499 suggested that the Member should request the information through a more appropriate method, a Freedom of Information request. The information was not withheld, the Member was simply redirected to a more appropriate process.
Should the Member prefer to ask questions of a similar nature through the Parliament, the Minister advises that the same guidelines used in the Freedom of Information process are to be expected.
In regards to Question on Notice 4450, no.
(2) Curiously, Question on Notice 4450 is a question from a Greens MLC to Minister for Mental Health Hon Helen Morton, relating to intermediate care accommodation in Joondalup. The Member would be aware this does not all within the scope of the transport portfolio. If the Member requires assistance identifying issues falling under the transport portfolio (for which he has been appointed Shadow Spokesperson) I am happy to provide guidance through my office.
