Answered on 26 June 2018
(a)-(f) While this office sends innumerable emails each day, I assume you are referring to the standard email informing members that the Minister would be in their electorate.
For the member’s information the Minister’s only engagement for the 2 May 2018 in the South Metropolitan region was a facility tour at the Tianqi Lithium plant in Kwinana. Excluding transit time, the engagement was for one hour. The Minister was accompanied by a ministerial adviser and employees of Tianqi Lithium.
For the benefit of the honourable member, that email (as do all notification emails of that nature from this office) contained contact details if he required further detail.
