(1)–(3) I table the attached information.
[See paper 2459.]
(4) The
Premier has instructed the Department of the Premier and Cabinet to tighten the
guidelines to clearly reflect that any additional accommodation costs are met
by the Premier, opposition leader or relevant minister. Once amended
accordingly, this will end any uncertainty going forward.
Given the service of that family, it is time for
the attacks on the family, and some of the commentary, to stop.
