Metropolitan Fire Service Travel Allowance

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:46): Supplementary: was this error made due to understaffing and unfilled public sector places' workforce deficiencies in that way?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:46): With further and better information, I am advised that all of the outstanding payments have been processed and are expected to be paid in the next pay cycle. In relation to the error, I am happy to go and double-check, but my understanding is that there was an employee who was responsible for the processing of these who had moved into another position and it was the fact that, essentially, the corporate knowledge and ability to do that may not have been transferred as it should have been. If that is not the case, I am happy to bring back a response.
