Renewal SA

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:27): My question is to the Attorney-General. Did the Attorney-General make a complaint to the Office for Public Integrity regarding the alleged conduct of Mr Hanlon and Ms Vasilevski at Renewal SA that was the subject of an ICAC investigation, and did she inform SAPOL investigators at the time that she had made a referral? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: On 22 September 2018, the Attorney-General distributed a written statement to the media in relation to two Renewal SA executives. In November 2018, The Advertiser reported that SAPOL's Anti-Corruption Branch had begun conducting an assessment into whether the Attorney-General had breached the ICAC Act's strict secrecy provisions.

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government) (14:27): I thank the member for the question. These matters were all canvassed back in 2018 and there was complete exoneration in relation to the scurrilous allegations by the then member for West Torrens—still the same member for West Torrens—and I have nothing further to add.
