A PARLIAMENTARY hearing examining the police investigation into Troy Buswell's car crashes is "a political exercise designed to cause damage to the government", Premier Colin Barnett says.
It was announced in parliament on Tuesday that the Community Development and Justice Standing Committee would conduct a hearing on May 19 into the conduct of the police investigation into the crashes that ended Mr Buswell's ministerial career, although he remains a backbencher.
The hearing will examine police communications and investigations undertaken in the early hours of February 23, when the former treasurer crashed into parked cars, a pole and the front gate of his Subiaco home while returning from a wedding.
It will also investigate the nature of demand for police attendance on the night, the subsequent conduct of the investigation and collection of evidence, and the decision to prosecute and the charges laid.
Mr Buswell was fined and has his driver's licence suspended after he pleaded guilty to 11 traffic offences including failing to report an accident.
But he was not breath tested because he was inside his house with the lights off when police responded to a tip off from a witness who claimed he had seen a man who looked like Mr Buswell barely able to stand after he crashed his car into a residential gate.
Premier Colin Barnett said the hearing was "clearly a political exercise".
"It should be seen as nothing other than that," Mr Barnett said.
"I want to make it very clear: I completely support our police officers and the commissioner, and I believe they have acted properly and treated Troy Buswell no differently than any other citizen."
A motion put forward by the opposition in parliament last week that called for Mr Buswell to explain more was defeated.
