(1)(a)
The Liberal National Government came to office on 23 September 2008 and, as such, cannot provide answers for previous Government administrations.
(b)-(d) A contract member of staff has been employed by the Department of Local Government in order to compile a history of previous complaints received and details of previous investigations conducted, as well as their outcomes. This staff member is currently totalling these details for the years 2008 (23 September 2008 to 31 December 2008), 2009 and 2010.
I will provide these answers as soon as they are available.
(2) There are eight complaints currently under investigation.
(3) At present, there is not a system in place to formally track complaints. The Department has identified this as an area of importance and is currently investigating suitable options for tracking and recording complaints.
