Labor calls on Will Hodgman to investigate Hickey leak

  • Hickey's submission for pay rise was leaked
  • Investigation needed to ensure security of information provided to the TIC
  • Hickey-leak fiasco hurting Government's reputation
  • Will Hodgman must ask Tasmania Police to investigate the alleged leak of the Liberal Member for Clark, Sue Hickey's submission to the Tasmanian Industrial Commission.

    Ms Hickey has claimed the submission, which called for her to receive a massive pay rise, was leaked to cause her damage.

    Shadow Attorney General Ella Haddad said it was vital to get to the bottom of this matter to ensure the integrity of the TIC as well as relevant offices.

    "Allegations of leaks need to be taken very seriously," Ms Haddad said.

    "Tasmanians need to have full faith that a private submission provided to a statutory government agency remains private.

    "The Attorney General, Elise Archer today denied her office was involved in the leak.

    "This leak has severely impacted on the reputation of Sue Hickey, as well as Will Hodgman.

    "It is now up to Will Hodgman to show some leadership by getting to the bottom of this important matter."
