I will just explain it. Members
operate in electorate or ministerial offices or what have you and received
requests from people across the community
for G2G passes to be dealt with, including from members of the community who contacted us. I do not know whether someone
at some point in time donated to the Nationals WA, the Liberal Party ,
the Labor Party, the Greens or whomever. They put in requests. Members of
Parliament who received requests submitted them to ministers' offices.
Ministers referred them off to the police as was appropriate. As I outlined to
the Leader of the Opposition, we had hundreds of these requests from her, the
Leader of the Liberal Party and the Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party—literally
hundreds. Across the Liberal Party —
Ms M.J. Davies : Your deputy
tasked them to do it.
Mr
M. McGOWAN : Please; can I answer
the question. The Liberal Party put in 180 requests and the National Party put in 176 requests, totalling 356 requests of this nature.
