FOLEY ADVISORY

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:44): My question is to the Premier. Now that the Premier has had three months to check, can he advise whether former treasurer Hon. Kevin Foley complied with the lobbyist code of conduct since leaving the cabinet? On 14 and 15 November last year, the Premier advised the house that he would bring back answers to my questions on whether Mr Foley had meetings with government representatives to discuss matters on which he had had official dealings during his last 18 months of office.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts) (14:45): I thank the honourable member for her question. I apologise if I haven't brought back an answer to that. I understood that we had checked that and the answer was: no, there was no breach. But I will check that, and I thought we had done that at the time. I thought we may have even supplied an answer at the time, but I will check that as well.
