Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 272 asked in the Legislative Council on 5 April 2022 by Hon Wilson Tucker

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

CLIVE PALMER — LEGAL ACTION

272. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the Leader of the House representing the Premier:

I refer to the defamation action brought by Clive Palmer against the Premier and I note that by convention the taxpayer is paying for the Premier's legal defence costs. Is the taxpayer paying for the cost of any other minister involved in this case such as legal costs, travel costs to attend court or any other associated costs? If so, please provide a breakdown.

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. Member, I have seen the question and an answer. There is something that needs to be checked, so I will provide an answer tomorrow.
