EQUAL OPPORTUNITY ACT — REVIEW

13. Hon ALISON XAMON to the parliamentary secretary representing the Attorney General:

• Will the McGowan government commit to introducing legislation this term to amend equal opportunity laws to protect all workers, including staff of members; and, if not, why not?

Hon MATTHEW SWINBOURN replied:

That was my first question. I thank the member for some notice of the question.

• The Law Reform Commission of Western Australia is currently reviewing the Equal Opportunity Act 1984. The McGowan government is committed to respond to and, where appropriate, action the recommendations from this review during the current term of Parliament.
