Chapter activities The Chapter hosted two member events in 2016–2017:
1. A dinner seminar on 15 September 2016 featuring the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Western Australia, Hon Wayne Martin QC AC, on the topic ‘Parliament and the Courts’. A panel of five lawyer–MPs including the Speaker, Hon Michael Sutherland MLA, Hon Adele Farina MLC, Dr Tony Buti MLA, Hon Nick Goiran MLC and Hon Peter Katsambanis MLC, provided a parliamentary perspective to the topic.
2. A supper seminar on 20 June 2017 at which the Auditor General of Western Australia, Mr Colin Murphy PSM, addressed the Group on the topic: ‘10 Years of Audit… “Dollars and Sense”’.
The WA Chapter contributed to the ASPG working group’s ongoing review of the ASPG website as well as the working group examining the ASPG corporate membership structure.
Both Presiding Officers, and a number of parliamentary officers and WA Chapter members, also attended the 2016 ASPG Conference in Adelaide.
