Answer (1) The Information the Member is seeking is available in the publication entitled the Profile of the Western Australian State Government Workforce which is published by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet on an annual basis. The Member can access the 2004 version of the publication via the internet at: http:/ /www.dpc.wa.gov.au/psmd/pubs/wac/prof04/index.html while the previous years can be accessed at: http://www.dpc.wa.gov.au/psmd/pubs/was/profilearchives/index.html . (2) Leave liabilities are managed at an agency level. This is considered an appropriate approach, given that each agency is best placed to implement leave management policies that best meet the needs of their employees and result in least disruption to their services. At the whole of government level, the Government will continue to monitor and report leave liability.
