Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 120 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 16 March 2022 by Ms M.J. Davies

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

COMMUNITIES — POLICE RAID

120. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Minister for Child Protection:

I refer to the leaking of documents from the Department of Communities and the minister's inability to answer questions yesterday. In the interests of full transparency, will the minister table a time line outlining the critical dates in relation to this incident, including but not limited to when she or her office were first alerted to this issue within the department; when this news was shared with the Premier or his office; and when WA Police were notified, and any other critical dates relating to this particular incident?

Ms S.F. McGURK replied:

I am happy to provide to the house the dates that were specified when we were notified. In fact, most of those dates were clarified yesterday, in this house and in the other place. The final part of the member's question related to ''any other critical dates'', which is a very, very broad outline. I am not sure what exactly she is asking for there. But with regard to the investigations, as I understand it, the member is asking when my office was informed that there were investigations into possible breaches or leaked documents over these specific incidents. I actually answered that yesterday in this chamber—when we informed the Premier of such, and when I was informed that the police were issuing warrants in regard to those investigations. I am happy to provide that information again, although I do not imagine there will be more there than we have already provided to the Parliament.
