AnswerView source ↗
I thank the Leader of the Opposition for some notice of the question. The Minister for Police and Emergency Services has supplied the following answer - (1) The two infringements referred to in question without notice 678 were withdrawn when, as a result of legal advice, it was discovered that the licence suspension had been inappropriately applied. (2)-(3) The infringements were withdrawn only following receipt of legal advice that clarified the application of the licence suspension. The date of this advice was 28 June 2006. (4) Yes. I signed this answer but I will make sure it is tabled. [See paper 2157.]
