In reply to the Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (29 July 2021). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. D.K.B. BASHAM (Finniss—Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development):

On 8 September 2021 I provided further information to the House of Assembly on the answer provided during estimates.

The Department of Primary Industries and Regions had advised me in writing there was a confidentiality clause in the contract with Ms Poh Ling Yeow. This advice provided to me was incorrect.

I am now advised there is no confidentiality clause in the final contract signed by Ms Poh Ling Yeow. The contract was for a 12 month period from 12 February 2021 for an amount of $10,000.
