Coronavirus

Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (14:58): My question is to the Premier, who I believe represents the Treasurer—I am Blu Tacked to this spot in the house. What measures or extra measures are being taken to ensure electorate offices and the public who use them do not become points for transmission of the coronavirus? With your leave, sir, and of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Ms BEDFORD: Given the importance of maintaining the vital services to the community, especially JP services, will the Premier assure the house that urgent action will be taken to implement consistent protocols to protect the public and electorate staff?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:59): I thank the member for her question. My understanding is that this is an issue that has already been raised—the issue of people working at electorate offices—and advice to electorate offices was sent out by Paul Tatarelli yesterday. If the member has read that and if she has any further questions, I am happy for her to take them back to Paul Tatarelli and seek clarification, but my understanding was that there was a comprehensive email sent out to members and electorate offices yesterday covering these issues.
