Ministerial Code of Conduct

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:13): I have a supplementary question arising from the minister's answer. On the basis of that answer, does the minister accept that minister Koutsantonis has breached the ministerial code of conduct?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:13): I have answered that question. In terms of the intent of the code of conduct, his behaviour falls well outside of the intent of the code.
