Answered on 7 May 2019

Department of the Premier and Cabinet:

(1)-(5) Nil, not applicable.

(6) It is unclear whether the Member is referring to the individual businesses wishing to have their promotional material included in mail outs; or to the mail-houses that hold the contracts with Government agencies. Smaller businesses would hold contracts with mail-houses; however, Government agencies contract only to these mail-house companies, not individual businesses which may end up with their advertising material included in the mail outs.

 

Lotterywest:

(1) Lotterywest does not include advertising by private businesses with mail out bills.

(2 - 6) Not applicable.

 

Public Sector Commission

(1 - 6) Not applicable.

 

Salaries and Allowances Tribunal

(1 - 6) Not applicable.
