CORRUPTION AND CRIME
COMMISSION — SIGNIFICANT MISCONDUCT RISK TO GOOD GOVERNMENT — WA LABOR TRAINING DAY
1487. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the Leader of the House representing
the Premier:
I
refer to the Corruption and Crime Commission's recent report titled Significant
misconduct risk to good government , which references a ''regional
training day'' held at Dumas House in September 2021, during which
government MPs were coached by the WA Labor state secretary and campaign
director and shown a presentation slide that read ''Everything we do in
electorate offices is campaigning.''
(1) Who authorised the use of Dumas
House for this training day?
(2) Is it common practice to use
Dumas House for party political purposes?
