Public Sector Honesty and Accountability

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (14:51): My question is to the Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Pangallo, you need to address the question to the minister representing the appropriate minister.

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: My question is directed to the Leader of the Government and is for the Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services:

1. Is it now accepted practice that any senior public officers who have admitted or have been found to have breached laws like the Public Sector (Honesty and Accountability) Act will not face any disciplinary action and are, in fact, immune from any such action simply because of their reputation in the community?

2. Why was there no investigation undertaken into the conduct of the former Legal Profession Conduct Commissioner, Mr Gregory Mornington May, when a court found he had breached section 17 of the Public Sector (Honesty and Accountability) Act on multiple occasions?

3. Did Mr May ever self-report to any integrity agency about those findings, particularly when that conduct is defined as corrupt under section 5 of the ICAC Act?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:53): As I represent, in this place, the Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services in the other place, I thank the honourable member for his question. I will refer it to the minister in the other place and bring back a response.
