BURNSIDE COUNCIL

The Hon. A. BRESSINGTON (14:45): No, just a supplementary. Will the minister waive legal professional privilege and release the advice he received, so that the people of this state can be assured that the advice he received supported his decision to terminate the inquiry, and provide it to the council on the next sitting day?

Members interjecting:

The Hon. A. BRESSINGTON: If he can read it right, yes.

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (14:46): Mr President, the advice I received—

The PRESIDENT: Order! The honourable member cannot seek crown law advice anyway.

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY: That's what I was going to tell her.
