I welcome the support of the Legislative Council in allowing the Attorney General Vanessa Goodwin to attend Question Time.

Dr Goodwin will attend Question Time on Tuesdays, and when the Legislative Council is not sitting.

This will allow for transparency and scrutiny of Dr Goodwin’s portfolios in the House of Assembly.

While I would have preferred that Dr Goodwin be able to attend Question Time every day, I understand the concerns of Legislative Councillors and the importance of ensuring Dr Goodwin’s duties in the Upper House are not compromised.

I look forward to continuing to work cooperatively with the Upper House members.
Will Hodgman, Premier
