I refer to the Art Gallery of WA Annual Report which stated that there were 80
Active Voluntary Gallery Guides for the 2017-18 financial year, and ask: (a) how does the Minister reconcile that figure with the answer to Question on Notice No. 3429 (1)(a) on August 14 2018 in which he stated there were only 57 Active Voluntary Gallery Guides for the 2017 calendar year; and (b) was
there an influx of Active Voluntary Gallery Guides in the first six months of
2018 and: (i) if
yes, how many; and (ii) when did the new Active Voluntary Gallery Guides commence their service
in 2018?
