Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1220 asked in the Legislative Council on 16 December 2021 by Hon Nick Goiran

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

CORONERS ACT — STATUTORY REVIEW REPORT

1220. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the parliamentary secretary representing the Attorney General:

I refer to tabled paper 993, the Department of Justice strategic reform report, Statutory review of the Coroners Act 1996 (WA): Final report, dated July 2021, which was tabled on Wednesday, 15 December 2021.

(1) Is the Attorney General aware that the version of the statutory review that was tabled on 7 December 2021 does not address the issue of section 22(1), which was subject to the unanimous resolution of the house on 2 June 2021?

(2) On what date were changes made to the version of the report tabled on 7 December 2021 that resulted in the version tabled on 15 December 2021, and who directed that these changes be made?

(3) How many versions of the report exist?

(4) On what date did the Attorney General receive each version?

Hon MATTHEW SWINBOURN replied:

I thank the member for some notice of the question.

An answer cannot be provided in the time allowed owing to the level of detail required and the need to make further inquiries. Given that the next sitting day is not until 15 February 2022, I encourage the member to put the question on notice.
