Coronavirus, Travel

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:33): Supplementary arising from the answer: is there a person who is responsible for granting exemptions?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:33): The primary responsibility for advising the authorised officer who grants exemptions is with the exemptions committee, but as Mr Hunter indicated in his review, there's a whole range of officers who are authorised officers for both the purposes of approvals of essential travellers and also granting of exemptions under the Emergency Management Act.
