CORRUPTION AND CRIME
COMMISSIONER — REAPPOINTMENT
498. Hon PETER COLLIER to
the Leader of the House representing the Premier:
I ask this question on behalf of Hon
Michael Mischin, who is away on urgent parliamentary business.
I refer to the Premier's response
to my question without notice 455 of 19 May 2020 on communications between the
Premier and the member for Kalamunda, Mr Matthew Hughes, MLA, who is a member
of the Joint Standing Committee on the
Corruption and Crime Commission, on the appointment of the Corruption and Crime
Commissioner.
(1) Apart from
the two letters to the JSCCCC, has the Premier spoken to or communicated,
directly or indirectly, with Mr Hughes about the reappointment of Hon John
McKechnie?
(2) If yes to
(1), on what occasions, by what means and what was the substance of what was
said or the communication?
(3) If no to (1), will the Premier
specifically say so?
(4) Has the
Premier, directly or indirectly, advised Mr Hughes that he would have the
Premier's or the government's support if he were to be publicly
critical of the JSCCCC or any member of it?
(5) If yes to (4), on what
occasions, by what means and what was the substance of that advice?
(6) If no to (4), will the Premier
specifically say so?
