(a)        Yes. Ministerial meeting requests are subject to an administrative process and responded to based on a range of factors, including Ministerial availability, adviser responsibility, urgency and nature of the request. All Ministerial correspondence is documented and stored appropriately within a Department of Premier and Cabinet approved customer relationship management software. All stakeholder meetings are undertaken with the highest expectation of integrity from both stakeholders and Ministerial office representatives. (b)        No. (i) N/A (ii) One of my Ministerial advisers met with the Shire of York. (c) – (f) No, I have not met with these groups around the proposal. (g)        I met with representatives of Alkina Holdings and Instant Waste Management on 17 April 2025 to discuss their involvement in the circular economy and waste management. I also visited Instant Waste Management’s recycling facility in Bayswater on 17 July 2025 to view its operations. I have not received any gifts, hospitality or travel from Alkina Holdings or associated parties, save for cannoli, fruit juice and water served during my visit to the Bayswater facility.
