Attorney-General's Department

91 The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (25 October 2018). Can the Attorney-General advise—what legislation the Attorney-General's Department is drafting that is yet to be introduced into the parliament?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): The Attorney-General has provided the following advice:

Legislation for all government departments and members of parliament is drafted by parliamentary counsel, a business unit of the Attorney-General's Department. Any legislation being drafted by parliamentary counsel is the subject of legal professional privilege.

In addition, any legislative reform being developed by the Attorney-General's Department is the subject of legal professional privilege and is cabinet in confidence.
