AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. I provide
the following answer on behalf of the Premier; Minister for Tourism, so when I say
''I'', I am obviously referring to him.
(1) I am
personally unaware of the name of the former investment manager. The Public
Sector Commission advises me that it would be inappropriate to name the public
sector officer in the circumstances.
(2) West Perth.
(3) I understand the meeting related
to the potential redevelopment of the East Perth power station.
(4) Unknown.
(5) See response
to (3). I have previously advised the Cabinet Secretary of a potential conflict
in relation to the East Perth power station site.
