Whistleblower Protection

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:48): Supplementary: is the Attorney able to outline how many breaches have been investigated or penalised since the introduction of the Public Interest Disclosure Act 2018? I appreciate you may have to take that on notice.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Deputy Premier, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:48): I am happy to, and it might be even after this. I am not sure what the honourable member means by how many breaches—how many times there have been disclosures made under the public disclosure regime?

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO: Have there been any breaches of the act itself that have been investigated, and what penalties have been, I guess, provided to people who are in breach?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: The question is, as I understand it: how many breaches have there been of the public disclosure regime? I am happy to go away and see. I am not sure figures will be able to be found, but if there are I am happy to see if I can report them.
