My role as a lawyer was to provide legal advice acting on my client's instructions. If the Registrar of Incorporated Associations forms a view that such an association being incorporated was in breach of the relevant legislation then that would be a matter for them. I remind the Deputy Leader that my role was to provide legal advice. The entity that determined to incorporate this association is the Western Australian registrar of incorporated associations. If she is contending that the registrar of incorporated associations did not act in accordance with their legislation then that is a matter she should take up with them.
