The WA Procedure and Privileges Committee investigated potential actions the Legislative Assembly could take following a Corruption and Crime Commission report regarding the Member for Kalgoorlie's conduct as Minister for Resources. The Committee clarified it was not judging the member's actions or reviewing the CCC report, but outlining available penalties. These include censure, suspension, and expulsion.

Impact

The report primarily affects the Member for Kalgoorlie and potentially sets a precedent for handling similar situations involving alleged misconduct by members of parliament. It also impacts the Legislative Assembly's procedures and public perception of parliamentary integrity.
