SMART JUSTICE

In reply to Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg) (20 June 2012).

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Business Services and Consumers): I have received this advice:

Of the 48 recommendations in Judge Hora's report, implementation of 25 of the recommendations is underway, while another 13 supported recommendations are under consideration. Ten recommendations are not being taken forward due to either: the need for further consultation and research; competing government priorities and resource implications; or where it is considered that existing programs, policies and legislation already adequately address the issue.

Of the recommendations underway, those that are being implemented by the Attorney-General's Department and that require resourcing are being funded from within existing budgets.

For further information about the status of the implementation of the recommendations, I refer you to the South Australian Government Response to Smart Justice available on the Attorney-General's Department website: hhtp://www.agd.sa.gov.au.
