(c) Policy Adviser, Media Adviser, Main Roads representatives, Hon Darren West MLC
(d)-(e) Noting that ministers of the former Liberal-National Government routinely did not provide local members this courtesy, it was identified that a process error occurred within the administrative functions of the office which resulted in notification of a Ministerial visit failing to occur.
