Question Without Notice No. 427 asked in the Legislative Council on 12 June 2018 by Hon Aaron Stonehouse
Parliament: 40 Session: 1
BARBAGALLO RACEWAY — MINISTERIAL MEETINGS
427. Hon AARON STONEHOUSE to the Leader of the House representing the Premier:
I refer to a letter dated 14 May 2018 from the director general of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet to Mr Kevin McWilliams of Barbagallo's ''We Need Our Track Back'' campaign, which summarises the findings of his department's investigation into a formal complaint lodged against Minister Murray, as originally laid out in Mr McWilliams' correspondence of 27 March. I note that 17 people were present at the meeting during which the incident at the heart of Mr McWilliams' complaint is said to have occurred. Given that fact, can the Premier tell me who was interviewed as part of the department's investigation into the minister's alleged behaviour, on what dates and by whom?
Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.
As stated in the correspondence signed by the director general on 14 May 2018, it was acknowledged that the minister became frustrated in the meeting and his resulting behaviour was not what he would normally accept. The Premier has advised the minister of his obligations as set out in the Ministerial Code of Conduct.
