OMBUDSMAN — CORRUPTION AND CRIME COMMISSION
INQUIRY — PREMIER'S OFFICE
175. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Premier:
I
have a supplementary question. The question was that evidence had been given
that Mr Field had to seek ministerial approval for leave. Who is the
minister from whom he must seek that approval, and why was that approval given?
Ms R. Saffioti interjected.
The SPEAKER : Deputy Premier, we do not need your
interjections. These are matters currently under investigation by the
CCC about which questions are being asked. I expect that, ultimately, the CCC
will come to some findings and will give some recommendations that may well
clarify things further. Again, Premier, I invite you to respond should you wish
to do so.

We expect all public officials in Western
Australia to conduct themselves with absolute integrity and in the best
interests of Western Australia.
Mr R.S. Love interjected.
Ms R. Saffioti interjected.
The SPEAKER : Order, please!
Mr R.H. COOK : Madam Speaker,
I can hear the ongoing interjections from the member opposite, so I want to
make it very clear that the Ombudsman did not believe that he was required to
seek my permission or permission from my office for leave for travel
arrangements or other matters. These are the issues the Corruption and Crime Commission
is clarifying.
