FREEDOM OF INFORMATION

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:02): My question is to the Minister for Industrial Relations. Will the minister assure this house that no member of staff in his ministerial office has breached the confidentiality provisions of the Freedom of Information Act by revealing the name of a person making an application for information under the Freedom of Information Act to a number of persons who are not entitled to be provided with that information under the Freedom of Information Act?

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (15:03): I thank the honourable member for his question. I have total confidence in my staff and, as far as I am aware, there has been no breach of any confidentiality. As I said, I have total confidence in my staff.
