Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 737 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 22 November 2022 by Mr P.J. Rundle

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

ELECTORATE STAFF — TRAINING

737. Mr P.J. RUNDLE to the Premier:

I refer to media reports published by WAtoday and aired on 6PR that Labor electorate staff members have been undertaking intensive training programs at taxpayers' expense related to campaigning and fundraising for the 2025 election. Does the Premier believe that it is appropriate for fundraising and campaign training to be delivered by the Labor secretariat to publicly funded electorate officers during their work hours?

Mr M. McGOWAN replied:

A range of training programs are in place for electorate staff around the state, I understand, by all political parties, to ensure they are well informed in how to operate modern technology and ensure they understand how to communicate with the electorate and all those sorts of things. That has been going on forever. That is what electorate staff do. If the member would like, I could outline some of the activities of the National Party in its electorate offices.
