1. Were any persons employed or otherwise engaged as a consultant or contractor, in any Department or agency reporting to the Minister for Families and Communities, who had previously received a separation package from the State Government; and

2. If so—

(a) What number of persons were employed;

(b) What number were engaged as a consultant; and

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I am advised:
