Attorney-General's Department, Correspondence

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:47): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Attorney-General regarding public servant correspondence.

Leave granted.

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO: Dr Megan Brooks has testified that she received a letter from the Attorney-General's Department warning her not to embarrass the government. Given the significant public interest in the health system failures of this government, including ambulance ramping, this raises concerns about whether other medical professionals have received similar warnings. My question to the Attorney is: how many other public servants has the Attorney-General's Department written to with similar warnings about embarrassing the state?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:47): I am happy to reiterate answers I gave earlier. Letters that are between lawyers I certainly won't be going into.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!
