BURNSIDE CITY COUNCIL

The Hon. DAVID WINDERLICH (14:40): Given that there is a possibility that the chief executive officer, Neil Jacobs, has his term as chief executive—

The PRESIDENT: Without an explanation.

The Hon. DAVID WINDERLICH: Has the minister sought Crown Law advice on whether the advice from the investigator, Ken MacPherson, constitutes a report under section 272 or 273 of the Local Government Act?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy) (14:40): I have already given information that answers this question; that is, the investigator raised some concerns with the agency that he requested to be passed on to the council. I have received no advice from the investigator to indicate that any action on my part needs to occur at this point in time. As far as I am aware, he simply wanted those concerns raised with the council so that it could consider them.

I am not aware that any particular response was requested or required by him, but he wanted that matter raised. The matter is now before a formal investigation, and it is being conducted in a proper and fitting way.
