      (1) Last financial year, did any Western Power employees receive an annual salary more than double their base salary?
      (2) If yes to (1), what were the positions of those staff, and what was their base salary and their total salary, including all entitlements and loadings?
      (3) Last financial year, did any Synergy employees receive an annual salary more than double their base salary?
      (4) If yes to (3), what were the positions of those staff, and what was their base salary and their total salary, including all entitlements and loadings?
Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the Leader of the Opposition for some notice of the question.
      (1)–(4) Yes. A number of Western Power and Synergy employees received an annual salary more than their base salary last financial year, 2016–17. The remainder of the answer is in tabular form, so I seek leave to have it incorporated into Hansard.
      Leave granted.
