Dion Barber—Legal case
1287. Hon Nick Goiran to
the Leader of the House representing the
Premier:
I refer to the
revelation during the annual reporting hearing by the Insurance Commission of
Western Australia that the Premier has never been briefed by the commission on
the case of Mr Dion Barber, and that the involvement of Mr Don Punch, now the
member for Bunbury, is not being disputed in the appeal.
(1) Has the Premier read the judgement and the
adverse findings involving Mr Punch?
(2) If no to (1), will the Premier commit to doing
so during the parliamentary summer recess and before the resumption of
Parliament in February 2026?
