ATTORNEY GENERAL —
UNFAIR DISMISSAL CASE
85. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the Leader of the House representing
the Premier:
I refer to the unfair dismissal
case brought by a former electorate officer of the member for Kwinana and
Public Service Appeal Board matter 31/2020.
(1) Is the Premier aware that
external counsel has been used to oppose the case?
(2) What has been the cost to WA
taxpayers for this case to be defended?
(3) Was it the Deputy Premier or
the Attorney General who first alerted the Premier about this case?
(4) When was the Premier last
briefed about the status of this case?
Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(4) As this matter is
currently before the board, it would not be appropriate to respond.
