Mealor, Ms C.

In reply to the Hon. F. PANGALLO ().21 February 2023).

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector): I have been advised:

Applications for reimbursement for legal costs are a matter for me. I receive advice from the Crown Solicitor on those applications for reimbursement. My chief executive is not involved in that process.

As the honourable member is aware, I have requested that the ICAC inspector undertake a review of the Hanlon matter. The inspector is an independent statutory officer who will undertake that review and discharge his other functions independent of government.
