Ms O’CONNOR question to MINISTER for SPORT and EVENTS, Mr DUIGAN
Have you listened to the podcast Rotten Apple by journalists Camille Bianchi and Amelia Saw?
Ms Forrest – It is pretty confronting.
Ms O’CONNOR – Well, this is the one outlining recent past events at Athletics Tasmania, where instead of being a place where young people, young athletes felt safe and encouraged always, it became the workplace for an alleged sex offender. This person no longer works at Athletics Tasmania, but he did for some time. Have you been briefed on the allegations made in this podcast by a very respected journalist, Camille Bianchi? What was your response to the serious allegations made?
ANSWER
I will seek some advice. No, I have not listened to the podcast and no, I have not been briefed. It is probably a question that I will raise with Active Tasmania.
