REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT —
GASCOYNE DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION —CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
1142. Hon ROBIN CHAPPLE to the Minister for Regional Development:
I have given the minister a copy of
my question.
I refer to the tabled paper attached
to the answer to question on notice 1618, answered by the minister, and the
travel that Mr Gavin Robins has undertaken in his role as chief executive
officer of the Gascoyne Development Commission in attending two conferences,
one in Alice Springs and one in Darwin, within a one-month period.
(1) Could the minister advise the
duration of those conferences?
(2) Could the minister advise the
duration of the stay of Mr Gavin Robins in each of those locations?
(3) Is the
minister aware if Mr Gavin Robins' accommodation at those locations was
paid for by either the Gascoyne Development Commission or Mr Gavin Robins; and,
if not, will the minister investigate?
(4) If there is a variation in
answers to questions (1) and (2), does the minister know why?
Hon
ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:
I thank the member for the question,
and he did give me a copy of this a while ago. I am sorry, I have not been able
to get the requisite information between then and now, but I will endeavour to
answer this when we next return to Parliament.
