BURNSIDE COUNCIL

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (14:42): I seek leave to ask the Minister for State/Local Government Relations questions in relation to Burnside council.

Leave granted.

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY: Can the minister advise whether any staff members employed by the Burnside council at the time of the MacPherson investigation received a part copy of that draft report as part of the natural justice process? In particular, will the minister advise whether any of the following individuals were given part copy of that report: former CEO, Neil Jacobs; former acting and now current CEO, Paul Debb; Manager of Development and Regulatory Services, Anthony Rowe; Acting General Manager of Planning and Infrastructure, Simon Bradley; Manager, Assets and Capital Works, Kevin Delaney; and, lastly, former tree management officer, now Acting Manager of Open Space and Environment, John Draper?

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (14:43): The independent investigator sent that report out in the course of the natural justice process. He was independent. I was never consulted on who it was sent to, and it was not my role to know who it was sent to. So, his question is no.
