❓ A WA parliamentary question scrutinises a government employee's overseas travel for tourism activities, specifically regarding work conducted on weekends/after hours and days not spent working. The Minister's answer clarifies work arrangements and leave taken.

I refer to the Report on Overseas Air Travel for the 3 months to 31 December 2024 and the trip for J Munro from 8 November to 25 November to undertake various tourism activities in Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Switzerland over a period of 17 days. Can the Minister advise:(a) Whether business and tourism activities were conducted on every one of these days;(b) If so, was any subsequent compensation provided for working weekends and or after hours, and if so, what was it;(c) If not, why not; and(d) With respect to J Munro were there any days not spent working in an official capacity, and if so which days?

(a) Business and tourism activities were conducted on every working day. (b-c) Any compensation or entitlements for work undertaken on weekends or outside standard hours are managed in accordance with the Government Officers Salaries, Allowances and Conditions Award 1989 . (d) J Munro undertook annual leave (at own cost) on 11 November and 12 November 2024.
