MINISTER FOR POLICE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES - STAFF SUPERANNUATION PAYMENTS
I refer the Premier to the Minister for Police and Emergency Services’ failure as a business owner to make timely superannuation payments for his former employees as required by law. (1) When the Premier and Mr D’Orazio discussed the allegations made by the former employees, did the minister provide the Premier with any evidence, such as his business accounts, to verify the minister’s assertions? (2) If not, does this mean that the Premier, in his defence of the minister, relied solely on the minister’s word? Hon KIM CHANCE
