In relation to the question from the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, I can confirm that the Workplace Authority staffing levels are increasing from around 250 to 800 staff and that in the interim, while they are recruiting those full-time staff, they have been employing temporary staff hired through three recruitment agencies. They can be classed as contract labour.
