MINISTER FOR TOURISM, MAJOR EVENTS, HOSPITALITY AND RACING
Page: 10349

Mr JOHN ROBERTSON: My question without notice is directed to the Minister for Tourism, Major Events, and Hospitality. Peter Grimshaw gave evidence today to the Furness inquiry that he told the Minister of the detail of the alleged sexual harassment in early to mid January. Why did the Minister not report this immediately to the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority?

Mr GEORGE SOURIS: This matter is currently the subject of public hearings of the inquiry conducted by Ms Gail Furness, SC, on behalf of the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority.

The SPEAKER: Order! I remind the Leader of the Opposition that he is already on three calls to order.

Mr GEORGE SOURIS: As such, I believe it would be inappropriate for me to comment further; and as such, I believe the matter should be left entirely in the hands of the independent inquiry.
