Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 470 asked in the Legislative Council on 14 May 2019 by Hon Martin Aldridge

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

MINISTER FOR REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT — EARLY VOTING CENTRE VISIT

470. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the Minister for Regional Development:

I refer to the minister's attendance at a pre-polling centre this morning in support of Labor's candidate for Stirling.

(1) Did the minister's transportation to the pre-polling centre involve her conveyance by a motor vehicle provided by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet and was the vehicle driven by a departmental employee?

(2) Was the minister accompanied by any public servants during her visit to the pre-poll centre; and, if so, who and why?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

(1)–(2) I was not driven to the pre-poll centre in a government car or by a government official. Indeed, I think I am quite entitled to attend a pre-poll. I think I was collected from the pre-poll by one of my staffers so that I could go immediately to an official event at the Royal Agricultural Society.

Several members interjected.
