Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 378 asked in the Legislative Council on 11 May 2022 by Hon Peter Collier

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

COMMUNITIES — POLICE RAID

378. Hon PETER COLLIER to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Community Services:

I refer the minister to her response to question on notice 680 answered on 10 May 2022.

(1) Given that ''the internal investigation is ongoing and in the interests of fairness to all parties and the integrity of the process it is not appropriate to disclose further details'', why did the minister and the Premier state publicly and in the Parliament the number of documents allegedly accessed by the Aboriginal female officer employed within the Department of Communities whose home was raided by police, and yet will not provide the same information about the other officers under investigation?

(2) Is the Aboriginal female officer whose home was raided by police one of the 13 public officers in the internal investigation?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1)–(2) This matter remains under investigation, therefore, it would be inappropriate to disclose further information that may compromise the integrity of the process.
