BURNSIDE COUNCIL

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:27): I have a supplementary question. Has any legal advice received by the minister explicitly confirmed his power to terminate an investigation under section 272 of the Local Government Act?

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (14:27): Every decision I have made has been made on legal advice.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The minister can answer the question any way the minister wishes. I suggest you go back through Hansard and find out how some other ministers have answered questions over the years. The Hon. Ms Lensink.
