Resolutions

Crime and Public Integrity Policy Committee

Consideration of message No. 31 from the Legislative Council.

(Continued from 4 September 2018.)

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (17:01): I move:

That this house concurs with the resolution of the Legislative Council contained in message No. 31 that the instruction to the Crime and Public Integrity Policy Committee, given on 26 July 2018, be amended to now require the committee to report on its inquiry into the Independent Commission Against Corruption (Investigation Powers) Amendment Bill no later than Thursday 20 September 2018.

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: I think all members would be aware that this committee has undertaken the role of reviewing the amendments to this bill that were presented by the government in relation to public hearings. The media coverage of some of the evidence taken suggests some amendments, which the committee would no doubt consider, have been presented. We have certainly been active in discussing areas that may be part of the recommendations with members of the parliament and external stakeholders, so we do look forward to receiving their report.

However, members may be aware that the Hon. John Darley made it very clear that he expected the progress of this bill should be attended to no later than when we returned to the parliament. I understand and am quite happy to accept that a draft of their report has not been finalised and that they need an extra meeting on the 19th to do that. In those circumstances we will, of course, accommodate that, so I put the motion requesting the agreement of the house.

Motion carried.
