Public Sector Executive Salaries

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (14:55): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Leader of the Government questions with regard to the salary of government chief executive officers.

Leave granted.

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY: The salary increases for a number of chief executive officers of government departments were reported in yesterday's Advertiser, including some who seemingly received a pay rise of over 10 per cent. My questions are:

1. What were the actual KPIs for the CEOs who received a pay rise?

2. Were there any CEOs who did not receive a pay rise because they did not achieve their KPIs, and who were they?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:56): I thank the honourable member for his important questions and will refer them to the Premier and bring back a response.
