Data Harvesting

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:21): Supplementary: in relation to the statements that the Ombudsman made and the clarification that the minister has read out, is the minister able to inform the chamber what code of ethics or standards apply to people who work in the Premier's office?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:22): I will take advice on that, but my understanding is that it's the same code of ethics that applies to public sector workers. I think this issue has been explored not only in this chamber but in another chamber on a number of occasions. I think that has been the totality of the advice that has been provided to both chambers. Again, in relation to any particular issue that might appertain to the matters raised this morning in a parliamentary committee, there is an established process which is being followed, and we will all await with interest the results of that process.
