BURNSIDE CITY COUNCIL

The Hon. DAVID WINDERLICH (14:55): Has the Office for State/Local Government Relations sought Crown Law advice on the council's response to the investigator's concerns?

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) (14:55): It is under investigation. At how many levels do we want this investigated? It is under investigation. Those matters are within the terms of reference of the investigation. We have a competent and well qualified investigator conducting the investigation with intense rigour and thoroughness, and the response of the council was forwarded to the investigator. I am confident that if the investigator had any further concerns that he believed needed to be addressed prior to the delivery of his report he would have let me know straight away, and I have not received any such request.
