Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 453 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 18 June 2020 by Mr P.A. Katsambanis

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

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.
