Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1280 asked in the Legislative Council on 29 November 2022 by Hon Nick Goiran

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

GUARDIANSHIP AND ADMINISTRATION ACT

1280. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the parliamentary secretary representing the Attorney General:

I refer to the Attorney General's indifference towards his breach of section 110ZZE of the Guardianship and Administration Act 1990.

(1) Was a project reference group for the review of part 9E of the act established on 3 August 2021?

(2) Does the Attorney General have a reliable and unconfused recollection that he informed the house that a report on that review was to be tabled by no later than 7 April 2022?

(3) Does the Attorney General, his office or the department have in their possession a report prepared in accordance with section 110ZZE?

(4) What is the date of the most recent briefing note or similar document the Attorney General has received regarding this review?

(5) Will the Attorney General table the documents referred to in parts (3) and (4) of this question in order to comply, albeit belatedly, with the Premier's commitment to gold-standard transparency?

Hon MATTHEW SWINBOURN replied:

I thank the member for some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided to me by the Attorney General.

(1)–(3) Yes.

(4) The date was 26 October 2022.

(5) The document referred to in relation to part (4) of the question is cabinet-in-confidence. Regarding the report referred to in part (3), as previously advised, the Attorney General will table the final report as soon as practicable. The report will provide comprehensive findings and recommendations in response to the review of part 9E of the Guardianship and Administration Act 1990.
