Toodyay resident and fire victim Laurie Biggs spoke to 6PR saying that he was disappointed in the way that Western Power can conduct themselves with regard to claims by fire victims. Mr Biggs told Paul Murray the nondisclosure clause for claimants in the class action lead by litigation Lawyer Kevin Banks-Smith flew in the face of the open and accountable government that the premier was pushing.
