Question Without Notice No. 942 asked in the Legislative Council on 5 December 2017 by Hon Michael Mischin
Parliament: 40 Session: 1
LOCAL PROJECTS, LOCAL JOBS PROGRAM — MEMBER FOR DARLING RANGE
942. Hon MICHAEL MISCHIN to the Leader of the House representing the Premier:
I refer to the public funds distributed under the Local Projects, Local Jobs program.
(1) Will the Premier identify the projects to which money has been paid or to which money has been committed in the electorate of Darling Range, and which were due to promises made by Mr Barry Urban, MLA?
(2) What due diligence process was put in place regarding each of these projects before the money was promised or paid?
(3) What checks were conducted to ensure that Mr Urban did not have a conflict of interest and that the money promised or paid did not benefit projects in which he or his family had an interest; and by whom were those checks conducted?
Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
I do not have an answer in my file. Did the honourable member lodge that question today?
Hon Michael Mischin: I did, along with my last question. It is C963.
Hon SUE ELLERY: I understood that members had been advised that the Premier was not available to provide answers today. If that is the case, the question would be in the system, and I expect that the Premier would be able to answer the question tomorrow.
