Ombudsman Investigation, Member for Bragg

Mr TEAGUE (Heysen) (15:14): Thank you, Mr Speaker. My question is to you. What was the bill to taxpayers for the fees and costs of Dr Rachael Gray QC, counsel assisting the select committee on the conduct of the then Deputy Premier regarding the KIPT and related matters and her three instructing solicitors? With your leave and that of the house I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr TEAGUE: I put this question to you Mr Speaker because, as I understand it, the engagement of Dr Gray QC of Victoria Square Chambers as Senior Counsel, and LK Law—as I understand it, as her instructing solicitors—required your authorisation.

The SPEAKER (15:14): Thank you, member for Heysen, for the question. I will take it in hand and return to the house with an answer in due course.
