❓ Mr Zempilas questions the necessity and duration of a trip by four Gold Corporation officers to the Beijing Coin Show, seeking details on their activities and the benefits to Western Australia.

I refer to the Report on Overseas Air Travel for the 3 months to 31 December 2024 and a trip for four officers from the Gold Corporation to attend the Beijing Coin Show from 31 October to 6 November 2024. Can the Minister advise:(a) Why was it necessary for four officers from Western Australia to attend the same coin show;(b) It is understood the coin show ran for three days, why did one officer’s trip (L Gu) last nine days and another officer’s trip (N Vance last seven days);(c) Did these officers visit other places while in China or sites and entities in Beijing, and if so when and for what purpose; and(d) What were the outcomes for Western Australia as a result of the officer’s participation in this coin show?
