PUBLIC TRUSTEE — FEES
225. Mr P.J. RUNDLE to the Attorney General:
I have a supplementary question. As
the Attorney General well explained, we have myriad inquiries, but what does he
say to the family members of clients with the Western Australian Public Trustee
who are so incensed by the treatment of their loved ones, that they have had to
resort to media publicity to be heard?

AnswerView source ↗

I did not say myriad inquiries. I said
there were two inquiries. One is by the Auditor General and also a review is
being conducted by Treasury together with the office of the Public Trustee. I encourage
the people who were on that program—I believe the name is Dan or Don;
it was anonymised—to raise it with the Auditor General as part of her
inquiries.
Mr P.J. Rundle : That is about
the fee model. We want to talk about the treatment of those families.
Mr J.R. QUIGLEY : That is what
the Auditor General is looking at. Those people can go to the Auditor General
and have an independent office holder examine it and report to this Parliament.
Thank you very much.
