CORRUPTION
AND CRIME COMMISSION AMENDMENT (MISCONDUCT) BILL 2014
1263. Hon ADELE FARINA to the
Attorney General:
(1) Is the
Attorney General aware that the position of Corruption and Crime Commissioner
has been vacant since April this year and the urgent passage of the Corruption
and Crime Commission Amendment (Misconduct) Bill 2014 is needed to address a
significant problem in filling the position and that efforts to fill the
position have stalled pending enactment of the bill?
(2) Why has
the government failed to identify the bill as a priority bill requiring passage
through Parliament before Parliament retires for the summer recess?
(3) What
action has the Attorney General taken to inform the Leader of the House of the
urgency of the bill?

I do not have an answer in this folder. The honourable member
is out of the chamber on urgent parliamentary business. I am sorry.
The PRESIDENT : I think the minister will endeavour
to get the question before the end of question time; and, if not, it will be
dealt with later.
