To gather, sort and calculate this data will take 55 to 65 hours of staff time from Tourism Western Australia's Corporate and Business Services Division and an additional 50 to 70 hours from the other Divisions which oversee these offices. This will divert stretched staff resources away from their normal duties to provide this response and I am not prepared to allocate Tourism WA resources to provide a response. If the Member can provide a specific reason for this inquiry, I will endeavour to provide an appropriate response.
