In relation to the Minister’s brief ministerial statement on 21 June 2011 regarding his travel to North America, I ask:
(a) the Minister stated that the delegation included himself and three other people. How many Western Australian officers or public servants actually travelled and/or met with the Minister during the travel and what are their positions;
(b) what was the total cost of the Minister’s, his Ministerial advisers, any public servants, agency staff or members or associated personnel’s travel;
(c) were any travel costs for any of the above paid for by non-Government sources; and
(d) while the brief ministerial statement fails to mention any arts or arts agency personnel travelling with the Minister, the official Ministerial Travel Report mentions that Art Gallery of Western Australia director Stefan Carboni was part of the Ministerial delegation. Could the Minister please list the full delegation?
