PARLIAMENTARY ETHICS ADVISER
Mr Anthony Roberts moved, by leave, That this House directs the Speaker to join with the President to
make arrangements for the appointment of Mr John Evans PSM as Parliamentary Ethics Adviser, on a
part-time basis, on such terms and conditions as may be agreed from the period beginning 1 July 2014.
The Parliamentary Ethics Adviser shall have the following functions.
Advice to Members of Parliament
(1)
(a)
The Parliamentary Ethics Adviser is to advise any member of Parliament, when asked
to do so by that member, on ethical issues concerning the exercise of his or her role as a
member of Parliament (including the use of entitlements and potential conflicts of
interest).
(b)
The Parliamentary Ethics Adviser is to be guided in giving this advice by any Code of
Conduct or other guidelines adopted by the House (whether pursuant to the Independent
Commission Against Corruption Act or otherwise).
(c)
The Parliamentary Ethics Adviser’s role does not include the giving of legal advice.
Advice to Ministers on post-separation employment
(2)
The Parliamentary Ethics Adviser must on request by a Minister provide written advice to the
Minister as to whether or not the Adviser is of the opinion that the Minister’s:
(a)
acceptance of an offer of post-separation employment or engagement which relates to
the Minister’s portfolio responsibilities (including portfolio responsibilities held during
the previous two years of ministerial office); or
(b)
decision to proceed, after the Minister leaves office, with a proposal to provide services
to third parties (including a proposal to establish a business to provide such services)
which relates to the Minister’s portfolio responsibilities (including portfolio
responsibilities held during the previous two years of ministerial office),
would give rise to a reasonable concern that:
(c)
the Minister’s conduct while in office was influenced by the prospect of the
2232
VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE NEW SOUTH WALES LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY
Tuesday 17 June 2014
employment or engagement or the proposal to provide services; or
(d)
(3)
the Minister might make improper use of confidential information to which he or she
has access while in office.
The Adviser must on request by a person who has ceased to hold ministerial office within the
previous 18 months (“the former Minister”) provide written advice to the former Minister as to
whether or not the Adviser is of the opinion that the former Minister’s:
(a)
acceptance of an offer of employment or engagement which relates to the former
Minister’s former portfolio responsibilities during the last two years in which the
Minister held ministerial office; or
(b)
decision to proceed with a proposal to provide services to third parties (including a
proposal to establish a business to provide such services) which relate to the former
Minister’s former portfolio responsibilities during the last two years in which the
Minister held ministerial office,
would give rise to a reasonable concern that:
(c)
the former Minister’s conduct while in office was influenced by the prospect of the
employment or engagement or the proposal to provide services; or
(d)
the former Minister might make improper use of confidential information to which he
or she had access while in office.
(4)
If the Adviser is of the opinion that accepting the proposed employment or engagement or
proceeding with the proposal to provide services might give rise to such a reasonable concern,
but the concern would not arise if the employment or engagement or the provision of services
were subject to certain conditions, then he or she must so advise and specify the necessary
conditions.
(5)
The Adviser’s advice must include:
(6)
(a)
a general description of the position offered, including a description of the duties to be
undertaken, or the services to be provided, based on material provided by the Minister
or former Minister but excluding any information that the Minister or former Minister
indicates is confidential; and
(b)
the Adviser’s opinion as to whether or not the position may be accepted, or the services
may be provided, either with or without conditions.
Where the Adviser becomes aware that a Minister or former Minister has accepted a position, or
has commenced to provide services, in respect of which the Adviser has provided advice, the
Adviser must provide a copy of that advice to the Presiding Officer of the House to which the
Minister belongs or to which the former Minister belonged.
Keeping of records
(7)
The Parliamentary Ethics Adviser shall be required to keep records of advice given and the
factual information upon which it is based.
(8)
Subject to clause 6, the Parliamentary Ethics Adviser shall be under a duty to maintain the
confidentiality of information provided to him in exercising his function and any advice given,
but the Parliamentary Ethics Adviser may make advice public if the person who requested the
advice gives permission for it to be made public.
