Question Without Notice No. 88 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 13 May 2021 by Mr R.S. Love

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

STANDING COMMITTEE ON PROCEDURE AND PRIVILEGES — SIXTY-FIRST REPORT

88. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Attorney General:

I refer to paragraph 5 of the executive summary of the sixty-first report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and Privileges, which states —

Quite simply, it is the PPC's view that at the heart of this matter is an entirely inexplicable sudden cessation of good faith negotiations between the PPC and the Commissioner of the CCC. This coincided with the bald usurpation of the powers and privileges of the Legislative Council through the calculated intervention of the Attorney General and State Solicitor's Office �

Has the Attorney General compromised the integrity of the Corruption and Crime Commission by intervening in a Corruption and Crime Commission process?

Mr J.R. Quigley: I'm sorry; I missed that.

The SPEAKER: Maybe the member could speak a little slower. It seemed to me to be quite a long preamble. I do not know whether that can be abbreviated at all. Can you just make the question clear to the Attorney General?

Mr R.S. LOVE: Paragraph 5 of the executive summary of the sixty-first report reads —

Quite simply, it is the PPC's view that at the heart of this matter is an entirely inexplicable sudden cessation of good faith negotiations between the PPC and the Commissioner of the CCC. This coincided with the bald usurpation of the powers and privileges of the Legislative Council through the calculated intervention of the Attorney General and State Solicitor's Office �

Has the Attorney General compromised the integrity of the CCC by intervening in this process?

The SPEAKER: I know that the Attorney General will be cognisant of anything that might be sub judice. Could he keep that in mind.

Mr J.R. QUIGLEY replied:

I will keep it in mind and I will keep it brief. No, I have not.
