ATTORNEY-GENERAL John Quigley has said he wants the man at the centre of the Health Department’s bribes-for-contracts scandal, known as The Fixer, to be brought back to WA to face justice.

Mr Quigley said he was seeking advice from the State Solicitors Office about extraditing Grant Alexander to Australia from Britain over his role in facilitating corruption inside the North Metropolitan Health Service. Mr Alexander was named in a Corruption and Crime Commission report last month as a key figure co-ordinating bribes paid to bent health procurement officials from construction companies vying for work.

As revealed by Seven News tonight, Mr Alexander has been living a secret life in London working for international branding and signage company Harkess-Ord.

According to Mr Quigley, all “miscreants” should face justice for their actions and he was keen to see Mr Alexander returned to Australia if he could be prosecuted.

But he would not be drawn on whether the State could legally enforce an extradition, and said his actions would be guided by advice from the State Solicitor. From there, it would be up to WA Police to decide whether any charges could be laid and the Department of Public Prosecutions to determine whether they should be pursued.

“I’m waiting for reports from the (State Solicitors Office) on that,” Mr Quigley said.

“I don’t want to forecast. I don’t want to be a politician not answering the question but this is a matter that involves some complexity.

“I’d like to see it happen, of course I would.

“I like all miscreants to face justice in Western Australia.”

Mr Alexander owned and ran a private company that provided project management services to the NMHS when the CCC said he became The Fixer for crooked officials John Fullerton and David Mulligan as they sought bribes from the companies they were dealing with.

A native New Zealander, Mr Alexander helped arrange for Mr Fullerton to fraudulently bill taxpayers $170,000 for renovations to his Perth Hills home.

Mr Alexander was spared any adverse recommendations by the CCC after agreeing to co-operate with its investigation.

Approached by Seven News journalist Geof Parry in London, Mr Alexander refused to comment.

Harkess-Ord said it was unaware of Mr Alexander’s history.

Health Minister Roger Cook expressed “surprise” that a resignation letter from a board member of the NHMS was heavily censored, saying it detracted from the State Government’s transparency agenda.

Mr Cook said he could see “no reason” why three resignation letters from directors of the NMHS, released to the State Opposition under Freedom of Information laws, would be heavily redacted.

He admitted the decision was “not really consistent” with Premier Mark McGowan’s commitment to open and transparent government and pledged to provide more “fulsome information”.
