Legal Proceedings by the President - Further Authorisation by the Legislative Council
Procedure and Privileges Committee (Council)· 24 September 2019general_report
The WA Legislative Council's Procedure and Privileges Committee recommends further authorisation for legal proceedings against the Corruption and Crime Commission (CCC). This follows the CCC issuing notices to produce records to the Clerk of the Legislative Council, related to an investigation involving a former Member of Parliament. The report seeks to protect parliamentary privilege.
Impact
The Legislative Council, the Clerk, the President, the CCC, and potentially former Members of Parliament are directly affected. The outcome could impact the balance of power between the Parliament and the CCC.
