If former Attorney-General Elise Archer’s request that the Director of Public Prosecutions investigates Jeremy Rockliff for a potential breach of the criminal code is granted, the Premier must step aside while an investigation takes place.
With Ms Archer’s complaints relating to threatening and intimidating behaviour, the Premier could be charged with the very serious offence of unlawfully influencing a Member of Parliament.
The Premier insisted Ms Archer stood aside when he decided her conduct was inappropriate.
It would be appropriate for him to apply the same standard to his own situation, and step aside if investigations into his alleged misconduct take place.
