QuestionView source ↗
I refer to Ms Petrice Judge, Western Australian’s nominated senior Council of Australian Governments official tasked to assist in supervising the work program and policy directions of the National Competition Council. (1) Given that Ms Judge works for the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, to whom and how often does Ms Judge report on her work as a senior COAG official in relation to her work with the National Competition Council? (2) Can the Premier provide details of Ms Judge’s job description? (3) Can the Premier outline the means by which Ms Judge ascertains advice and the views of the Western Australian Government and its agencies and the wider Western Australian community in relation to the decisions and policy directions of the National Competition Council? (4) If there were moves by other Australian States to request an urgent COAG meeting to reassess the future of the National Competition Council and the national competition policy tranche payment system, would the Premier consider such a request; and, if not, why not?
