COMMUNITIES — POLICE RAID
378. Hon PETER COLLIER to
the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Community Services:
I refer the minister to her
response to question on notice 680 answered on 10 May 2022.
(1) Given that ''the internal investigation is
ongoing and in the interests of fairness to all parties and the integrity of the process it is not appropriate to disclose further details'', why
did the minister and the Premier state publicly and in the Parliament the
number of documents allegedly accessed by the Aboriginal female officer
employed within the Department of Communities whose home was raided by police,
and yet will not provide the same information about the other officers under
investigation?
(2) Is the
Aboriginal female officer whose home was raided by police one of the 13 public
officers in the internal investigation?
