Cartledge, Mr A.

Mr KNOLL (Schubert) (14:44): My question is to the Attorney-General. Will the Attorney remove Aaron Cartledge from all government boards, including the Construction Industry Long Service Leave Board? In May, Aaron Cartledge of the CFMEU was convicted of making threats against management at the new Royal Adelaide Hospital site. Under the terms of the Construction Industry Long Service Leave Act, a board member may be removed if he is found to be guilty of neglect of duty or dishonourable conduct.

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for Consumer and Business Services, Minister for the City of Adelaide) (14:44): I thank the honourable member for his question. As he raises an important matter, I am not aware as to what the present state of that matter is. For example, assuming his facts to be correct—and I know he does google quite a lot of things, so it is possible he is correct—this may or may not be a matter which is the subject of ongoing proceedings in the court. It might be that there is an appeal; I don't know. I will make the appropriate investigations and get back to the member for Schubert.
