CRAIG PEACOCK — PREMIER'S COMMENTS
401. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the Leader of the House representing
the Premier:
I refer to the Premier's
interview with Nadia Mitsopoulos on ABC Radio Perth on Tuesday, 23 April 2024
in which he was asked whether he intended to respond to Mr Craig Peacock.
(1) Does the
Premier recall responding, ''Obviously, we will need to respond but in
the context of strong legal advice'' and ''We all deserve a response
from government, and I will make sure that response is consistent with our
legal advice''?
(2) Was it the
Premier's intention to give listeners the impression that Mr Peacock
will receive a response after legal advice has been obtained?
(3) Has a request for legal advice
been made?
(4) Was this done on a date before or after the radio
interview?
(5) Has the Premier now received the
advice?
