QuestionView source ↗

Under standing order 75(4), my question is to the Chairman of the Joint Standing Committee on the Corruption and Crime Commission, the member for Perth. I refer, as an administrative matter, to a speech that the member for Perth gave in his capacity as the Chairman of the Joint Standing Committee on the Corruption and Crime Commission during the conference in Sydney last week on Parliament and accountability in the twenty-first century, in which he said that, clearly, the additional information convinced the inspector and the committee that Ms Rayner should be charged with a more serious offence. (1) What authorisation to make that statement did the member for Perth seek and receive from other committee members and the parliamentary inspector prior to making that statement? (2) If the member for Perth wrote and delivered this statement without their permission, will he now resign from that committee? Mr J.N. HYDE

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for the question. (1)-(2) A draft copy of my speech was given to the parliamentary inspector. He, in fact, wrote most of the detailed section of it. Members of the committee were briefed on the speech and were in attendance, as were a number of Liberal Party members of this house. The speech was delivered before any charge was laid against Ms Rayner.
