AnswerView source ↗
I repeat what I said during the last sitting week: the royal commission has raised no matters with me that require my action. I make it clear to the Leader of the Opposition what this relates to. As the members in this Parliament ought to know, when allegations against individuals are made in a royal commission, those individuals are informed and given the opportunity to respond. The Government of Western Australia stands accountable in these matters. I assure the House that the royal commission has raised no matters about any members of my Government that require action.
