Parliamentary Staff, Enterprise Agreement

The Hon. C. BONAROS (14:51): I seek leave to ask a question of the Minister for Industrial Relations regarding EB agreements.

The PRESIDENT: Do you seek leave to make a brief explanation?

The Hon. C. BONAROS: No, I don't need to make an explanation. I just have a question.

The PRESIDENT: Just ask your question.

The Hon. C. BONAROS: Can the Minister for Industrial Relations please provide an update on EB agreement negotiations for non-party staff working in this building?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Deputy Premier, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:51): I am happy to take it on notice but that is not something that the government is a party to or part of the negotiations, as I understand. My understanding is that it is the JPSC, but I will get some information and come back to the honourable member.
