Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 820 asked in the Legislative Council on 14 August 2019 by Hon Michael Mischin

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

BENNETT BROOK DISABILITY JUSTICE CENTRE — SUPREME COURT INJUNCTION

820. Hon MICHAEL MISCHIN to the Minister for Disability Services:

I refer to the Bennett Brook Disability Justice Centre and the government's injunction restraining media organisations from publishing information concerning it.

(1) Did the minister or his office brief the Premier or his office regarding the injunction or the incident involving disability justice officers losing line of sight of a resident for half an hour?

(2) If yes to (1), who was briefed, by whom and on what date?

(3) Did the minister or his office brief any other minister or their office regarding the injunction or that incident?

(4) If yes to (3), who was briefed, by whom and on what date?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1) No. However, the Premier's office was alerted to the injunction issued by Justice P. Tottle on the day the order was made—3 August 2019.

(2) Not applicable.

(3)–(4) I do not believe so. However, if the honourable member would like to put this part of the question on notice, a thorough check can be done.
