I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(4) On
4 September 2018, the day the Attorney General made the remarks to which the
member refers, the legal firm acting for Mr Grant Alexander contacted the
Attorney General to advise that its client was prepared to return to WA at any
time to assist in the investigation into the North Metropolitan Health Service.
The Attorney General passed this correspondence to the WA Police Force, which
advised the Attorney General on 6 September
2018 that WA Police Force officers had made contact with Mr Alexander's legal representatives, and arrangements were being made to facilitate
investigative actions in relation to Mr Alexander. At that point, it became an
operational matter for the WA Police Force.
