Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 419 asked in the Legislative Council on 13 May 2020 by Hon Aaron Stonehouse

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

CRIMINAL PROPERTY CONFISCATION ACT — REVIEW

419. Hon AARON STONEHOUSE to the Leader of the House representing the Attorney General:

I refer the Attorney General to the review of the Criminal Property Confiscation Act undertaken by Hon Wayne Martin and tabled in the other place, without comment, late last year. Given how damning the report was and having had more than four months since its tabling to consider the recommendations set out in the report, will the Attorney General share with us his expectations as to when we might expect a government response?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I draw the house's attention to what has been going on for the last four months; I do not know whether anyone has noticed! But I thank the member for the question and provide the following answer.

Due to the government's significant law reform agenda and the precedence of addressing urgent matters related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the report of Hon Wayne Martin, QC, remains under consideration.
