WA LABOR — PUBLIC SERVANTS — GARNISHEED WAGES
453. Mr
P.A. KATSAMBANIS to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
Can the Premier categorically rule out whether any of his personal staff have
been involved in approaching public servants to garnishee their wages for
redirection to WA Labor, and whether some ministers have specifically banned
that practice from their office?
Mr M.
McGOWAN replied:
I
have no idea what the member is talking about, but he is not much of a lawyer
because a garnishee order is an order of a court. I do not think that as—what
are you; are you the shadow Attorney General? The shadow Attorney General does
not even know what the word ''garnishee'' means.
The SPEAKER: That is the end
of question time.
