Despite clear evidence of a member of Cabinet knowingly misleading Parliament the Premier did not sack him.
Despite clear evidence of a member of Cabinet knowingly misleading Parliament the Premier did not sack him.
Mr Brooks and Mr Groom, have either not read or chosen to ignore the code of conduct by knowingly misleading Parliament.
It is now six days since the former mining minister told four distinct lies to the Estimates committee.
The Premier is now a Cabinet minister down and there is surely jockeying for the position amongst the enthusiastic Dorothys on your backbench.
Why did the Premier appoint Mr Brooks to the mining portfolio given his private company's link to the industry?
Anyone who was in the committee or watched the footage knows the former minister told a series of four deliberate untruths to the Parliament.
The Premier has delivered the weakest possible response to evidence the Mining Minister knowingly misled a Parliamentary Committee at least four times.
Mining Minister, Adam Brooks, has no choice but to resign after three times misleading the Estimates Committee.
Mr Brooks attempted to clarify that neither his staff nor his Department were involved in the EPA's response to Shree's failure.
When Mr Brooks in opposition he was the loudest cheerleader for Shree Minerals. He talked them up as the saviour of the north-west coast.
