LOCAL GOVERNMENT ADVISORY BOARD —
CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST PROVISIONS
666. Mr D.A. TEMPLEMAN to the
Minister for Local Government:
I have a supplementary question. Is the minister confident
that the removal of conflict-of-interest provisions will not attract any legal
action or legal challenge to his reform process?

AnswerView source ↗

The quick answer is yes. However, someone is taking legal
action at the moment over the whole reform process for the Cities of South
Perth and Subiaco. I am therefore in legal discussions over the advisory board
report. However, the answer is no, there is no conflict of interest.
Mr D.A. Templeman : Are you still confident?
Mr A.J. SIMPSON : I
am still confident, yes.
