Why is the office of presiding member of the Behavioural Standards Panel suddenly vacant? The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS House of Assembly Cheltenham Minister for Trade and Investment Minister for Local Government Minister for Veterans' Affairs Local Government, Behavioural Standards Panel The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Trade and Investment, Minister for Local Government, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (14:49): I thank the member for his question. Particularly in response to this, I wouldn't characterise the vacancy in this context as sudden. I was written to by the presiding member last year. Respecting the unique personal family circumstances of the outgoing presiding member, I would be uncomfortable going into more detail, but I can assure the member for Narungga that the resignation is neither sudden nor without good reason.
