          <by role="member" id="3125">The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY:</by>  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 <term>Gazette</term>. 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 <term>Gazette</term>. Mr Watson is employed in my office as a senior ministerial liaison officer.</text>
