I refer to the answer to question on notice No. 415 in respect to mobile phones, and ask in view of the fact that question without notice No. 126 does not in any way address the core elements of question 415 and the State Government’s policy commitment of accountability, openness and inclusiveness to the public of Western Australia; will the Minister provide a detailed response to question 415?

I refer the Member to Question Without Notice 126 and the response supplied by the Premier. Since individual Director Generals of Departments are responsible for compliance with legislation in relation to the use of hand held mobile phones in motor vehicles for work purposes, collation of more detailed information would pose an unreasonable administrative burden.
