MINISTERIAL TRAVEL

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:40): I have a supplementary question. Will the minister confirm whether it is still procedure for ministers to give detailed proposals to cabinet prior to departing on trips overseas and, if so, did the minister do so?

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (14:41): This just shows the nature of the beast in this council. I do not know of any minister from the opposition, which was in power for nearly 10 years, who would have given a report of their travel. The thing is that I agree with accountability and, in accordance with our guidelines, I will have the details of that trip given to cabinet.
