Assistant Minister to the Premier

The Hon. S.G. WADE (15:26): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking questions of the Assistant Minister to the Premier on the topic of community events.

Leave granted.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: In response to a question in this place on 3 May, the assistant minister noted that part of her role and responsibilities would be 'going to events or going out to community events or consulting with stakeholders'. Can the minister please advise, given that it is now two months since the election, what events she has attended on the Premier's behalf, what community events she has attended on the Premier's behalf and which stakeholders she has consulted with on the Premier's behalf?

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (15:27): I thank the honourable member for his question. I'm not sure what your diary looks like now as a backbencher, but I don't feel like I need to provide a rundown on every event I go to. As we have stated, you all have a printout of the portfolio responsibilities to the Premier. The Premier does not have any portfolio responsibilities. I will support the Premier where required and I will support the team where required, because that is what we do on this side of the chamber.

The PRESIDENT: There is a supplementary question. I will listen.
