I refer to the Western Australian
Law Reform Commission 2018–19 annual report.
(1) Does the
Attorney General support the proposal by the Law Reform Commission to receive a
recurrent budget from which to remunerate members and conduct projects?
(2) If no to (1), why not?
(3) If yes to (1), when is it
anticipated that the commission will be granted a recurrent budget?
Hon SUE

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

its statutory duties on a timely basis.
