The opposition will refer allegations made by a former staffer for Deputy Premier Roger Cook that she helped fast-track hard border entry applications for Labor donors to the Corruption and Crime Commission.

Former Labor electorate officer Sanja Spasojevic claimed from April to June 2020, Cook tasked her with fast-tracking G2G applications for people and their families involved in cash-for-access Labor business roundtables.

The allegations came during Spasojevic’s unfair dismissal hearing before the Public Service Appeal Board over her sacking in October, 2020, after being accused of taking unauthorised annual leave.

Opposition Leader Mia Davies said the claims were serious and needed to be investigated further.

“I’ve got a letter on my desk that is about to be sent to the Commissioner John McKechnie of the Crime and Corruption Commission. They are serious allegations that need to be referred to the Crime and Corruption Commission,” Mia Davies said on Perth Live.

“If the allegations are true, in addition to providing preferential treatment for those that donate to the Labor party. We’ve also got a huge betrayal of trust for those families and businesses who were separated and denied entry into WA under the McGowan Government G2G system.”
