Parliament: 41 Session: 1

GREEN JOBS PLAN —APPOINTMENTS

1242. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the minister representing the Minister for Environment:

I refer again to the government's July 2020 green jobs plan to create 1 000 conservation jobs as part of the WA recovery plan.

(1) After more than two years, how many of these jobs have been filled?

(2) Of those filled, were the appointments on a full-time, part-time or casual basis?

(3) Of those filled, was the employing authority —

(a) the state government;

(b) the federal government;

(c) the not-for-profit or community sector;

(d) an Aboriginal body corporate; or

(e) the private sector?

(4) How many of the 1 000 jobs are currently occupied?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I am providing this answer on behalf of the Minister for Emergency Services representing the Minister for Environment, but, as Leader of the House, can I say that is a lot of information requested in a four-hour turnaround time.

(1)–(4) The green jobs plan includes eight projects, delivered by four state government entities. The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation is directly delivering four of the projects.

It is not possible to compile up-to-date responses to these questions within the time available. The member is requested to put the question on notice.
