Personal Explanation

MINISTERIAL STAFF

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (14:21): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY: During question time yesterday, I answered a question from the Hon. Rob Lucas regarding staff in my ministerial office. In my answer I stated that Mr Watson's salary and position title would be published in the government Gazette. I also stated that this would be the case for others, including Mr Hendrik Gout. It has come to my attention that this is not the case and that only details of appointments to the minister's personal staff are published in the government Gazette. Mr Watson is employed in my office as a senior ministerial liaison officer.
