ART GALLERY OF WESTERN
AUSTRALIA — DIRECTOR REMUNERATION
25. Hon MICHAEL MISCHIN to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Culture and the Arts:
I refer to the minister's
response to my question without notice 3 of 11 February 2020 concerning the
adequacy of the proposed remuneration for a future director of the Art Gallery
of Western Australia.
(1) When did the
minister first become aware that the Public Sector Commissioner had reduced
remuneration for the position by some 30 per cent?
(2) What was the
basis for that reduction?
(3) Did the
minister have any input into the decision, or discuss or make representations
regarding the proposed salary with the commissioner; and, if not, why not; and,
if so, what were they?
(4) Will the minister now table the documents in his
possession concerning the decision; and, if not, why not?
(5) What is the
current status of the process of appointing a new director, and when does the
minister expect to make an announcement?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I
thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. I do have an
answer, but there is one element of it that I want to check, so I will give the
honourable member an undertaking that I will provide him with an answer
tomorrow.
