Independent Commissioner Against Corruption Annual Report 2014-15

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:52): Supplementary to the Attorney: why, then, weren't any reports or recommendations of the ICAC commissioner made available during the debates that we have just had in passing the Lobbyists Bill, which had no reference whatsoever to this recommendation which the ICAC commissioner has again referred to and repeated in his annual report?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform) (14:52): The reason is that this particular piece of work and another piece of work that I have been doing in conversation with other members of parliament, relating to the clarification of matters arising from the statement of principles, have been travelling in tandem, and continue to travel in tandem, and will result in legislation very shortly. It is being worked on now. They are sitting in the next wave, if you like, of legislation which will touch on this.

It is going to be something in the nature of a miscellaneous amendment bill, which will deal with the matter which I know the deputy leader and certainly others in another place have raised with me about the exact parameters of the statement of principles and exactly what, if anything, that does mean in terms of a modification of the rules presently embodied in one of those large green volumes, and the clarification of that matter. They are moving along together.
