          <by role="member" id="3125">The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY:</by>  The 2013-14 ICAC annual report in relation to the use of private email to communicate official information states:</text>
        <text id="201808020af4ee7d514d45b090000464">
          <inserted>Such conduct might, at the least, amount to misconduct in public administration and be the subject of investigation and potential disciplinary action.</inserted>

        <text id="201808020af4ee7d514d45b090000465">
          <inserted>…The conduct therefore might also amount to an offence against section 17 of the SR Act. An offence against that section by a public officer while acting in his or her capacity as a public officer would amount to corruption in public administration under the ICAC Act.</inserted>

        <text id="201808020af4ee7d514d45b090000468">2.&amp;#x9;Has the assistant minister made any attempt to establish a ministerial email? If so, with whom and, if not, why not?</text>
