Parliamentary Questions


Question On Notice No. 1563 asked in the Legislative Council on 14 August 2018 by Hon Tjorn Sibma

Question Directed to the: Leader of the House representing the Premier
Parliament: 40 Session: 1


Question

I refer to the Department of Premier and Cabinet's (DPC's) administration of services to executive government, and I ask:
(a) does DPC maintain a register(s) of gifts to Ministers' offices;
(b) what process do Ministers and their staff follow so that they declare these gifts; and
(c) can DPC provide copies of this/these gift register(s) for each Minister and their office for gifts received up to and including 30 June 2018?

Answered on 11 September 2018

(a)-(c)  As part of good corporate governance practices, ministerial offices retain a record of gifts received by the Minister and in this regard, I refer the Hon. Member to Legislative Assembly questions on notice 1007 to 1023 from 2017 and Legislative Council questions on notice 895 to 946 from 2018. In addition, ministerial staff are required to seek approval from the Department of the Premier and Cabinet prior to accepting a gift or attending an event.
