Conflict of Interest

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:22): My question is to the minister for the public sector. Minister, can you understand why many members of the public see it as at least a perceived conflict of interest for people who are under investigation or referral by an integrity body to vote on legislation governing corruption?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:23): I can understand lots of different views that members of the public might hold. I don't always agree with them.
