PRESIDENT OF THE
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL
43. Hon MICHAEL MISCHIN to the Leader of the House:
I refer to the Leader of the House's
discussions with the Premier regarding the appointment on 22 May of the new
President of the Legislative Council.
(1) Was the
termination of legal proceedings being taken by and against the Legislative
Council discussed and what was the substance and outcome of those discussions?
(2) Was the
prospective new President a part of those discussions or informed of them and
what action was agreed to be taken?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
(1)–(2) I do not know what
conversations with the Premier the member is talking about.
Hon Michael Mischin: Are you
saying you haven't had any regarding the appointment of a new
President?
The PRESIDENT: Member, the
Leader of the House has provided an answer. I give the call to Hon Jim Chown.
