STATE RECORDS

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:07): Can the Attorney-General in fact confirm that ministerial offices have never been the subject of a State Records Act review?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:07): Look, never is a very long time. I can indicate that, so far as I am aware, and my most recent information about the matter occurred at a briefing this morning at which, as I said, the Leader of the Opposition was present, I received no indication about there having been a review specifically of ministerial offices. However, whether that has ever occurred I do not believe was a particular topic that was traversed with Mr Ryan. My understanding of what he informed me and the leader was that, certainly in 2010, they were not part of the agency group that was selected for review, and I also believe he indicated that, since 2010, they had not been specifically targeted for review.
