Mr Debnam asked Mr Iemma

NSW Legislative Assembly Hansard (Proof)
Extract from Transcript of Hansard 15/11/2006 (Article No.21) MINISTERS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY INVESTIGATIONS Page: 46
Mr PETER DEBNAM: My question is to the Premier. Given that there are just four months until the State election, will he tell the people of New South Wales whether, besides Minister Tripodi and former Minister Orkopoulos, any other Minister is the subject of investigation by any law enforcement authority?
MINISTERIAL CONDUCT COMPLAINT
Page: 34
Mr PETER DEBNAM: My question is directed to the Premier. Given that it is four months before the election and ministerial accountability is a critical issue in this State, is the Premier today in a position to tell the people of New South Wales if, in a series of meetings in January this year, a complaint was lodged with the Police Integrity Commission by a Wood royal commission informant about the misuse of ministerial power by one of his Ministers?
MINISTERIAL CONDUCT COMPLAINT
Proof, NSW Legislative Assembly Hansard, 16 November 2006, article 18. Page: 38
Mr PETER DEBNAM: My question is to the Premier. Given that the collection of evidence and information by the Police Integrity Commission is oversighted by the Attorney General's Department, and the Attorney General is the subject of a complaint, is it not appropriate that the Attorney General stand down from his position pending the outcome of the Police Integrity Commission's assessment or a public hearing be conducted, or is it more appropriate that the assessment be completed by an independent, arm's-length law enforcement agency?
