Question Without Notice No. 913 asked in the Legislative Council on 22 August 2019 by Hon Aaron Stonehouse

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

PUBLIC SECTOR — INDUSTRIAL AGREEMENT

913. Hon AARON STONEHOUSE to the minister representing the Minister for Industrial Relations:

I refer the minister to the publicity surrounding the recent negotiations with the WA branch of the Community and Public Sector Union–Civil Service Association on pay and conditions for Western Australia's 38 000 state government employees.

(1) What is the estimated financial cost over the term of the new two-year agreement of the agreed additional day in lieu of Easter Sunday?

(2) What is the estimated financial cost over the term of the agreement of the 25 per cent loading for casual staff?

(3) How many of the 38 000 state employees identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and will therefore be eligible for the five days of paid cultural and ceremonial leave for Indigenous staff members?

(4) What is the estimated financial cost over the term of the two-year agreement of that cultural and ceremonial leave?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

I thank the member for the question.

I understand that he is aware of this answer. The Minister for Industrial Relations has advised that due to the scope of the information requested, an answer was not able to be provided today, but the minister has given a commitment to provide the answer on our next sitting day, Tuesday, 3 September.
