(1)–(2)
I thank the member for Perth for his question. I do not think I was at the
council meeting when that was debated. I have been to a couple of council
meetings over the past four years and I do not recall everything that was said
at every council meeting.
Mr J.N. Hyde : Do
you read the local paper in Bunbury?
Mr G.M. CASTRILLI :
Member for Perth, I am aware of Councillor Michelle Steck, and regarding the
Bunbury city council, it is up to these councillors to declare their financial
interests. If somebody has got any complaint, they can lodge it through the
appropriate channels and my department will certainly look into it, consider it
and make its determination.
