Independent Commissioner Against Corruption Annual Report 2014-15

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:55): Finally, is the Attorney aware of any cases in which there has been a transfer of a public officer from one public authority to another where there has been a dismissal or resignation in those circumstances? If so, what action has he taken?

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) (14:55): I don't believe I am personally aware of any particular case. I don't recall having to deal with any particular case of that nature, but it is my recollection that the commissioner alerted me to the possibility of this potentially occurring. I am not able to recall whether that alert to me was made in the context of his having observed it or in the context of his being concerned that, as things presently stood, that was a realistic possibility.
