Question Time

BURNSIDE COUNCIL

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:28): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for State/Local Government Relations a question about Burnside council.

Leave granted.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: On radio last week, the Premier, Mike Rann, said:

My view is that the report should now be given to the Police Commissioner, to the Anti-Corruption Branch and to the Director of Public Prosecutions.

In light of the Premier's comments, I ask the minister: have all allegations, including the draft MacPherson investigation report and the associated material, gone to the Anti-Corruption Branch, and on which date did they go?

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (14:29): I received an invitation from the Commissioner of Police inviting me to refer the draft report to him.

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: Invitation? What sort of invitation?

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY: An invitation.

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: Not a request?

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY: Let me make one thing clear: I received an invitation from the Commissioner of Police inviting me to refer the report to him. I have done so, after considering his request—and that has been sent off.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: When?

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY: When? It has been sent off.
