In relation to the Standards Panel Review, why were those people who had lodged complaints alleging a minor breach of conduct in the current financial year not contacted and advised of the review, as those in the 2007–2008 and 2009–2010 were?

The planning for the consultation phase for the Review commenced during the 2010/11 financial year.  As such, it was decided that only the people that had made complaints in previously completed financial years, 2007-2008, 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 would be specifically contacted and requested to make a submission.  Using complete financial year data achieves a better analysis.
Information about the review was placed on the Department's website in December 2010 and in an advertisement in The West Australian on 9 February 2011.  This information included details on the options available to members of the community to make a submission to the review.
