          <by role="member" id="1804">Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:20): </by> My question is to the Attorney-General, and I thank him for his statement today. Is the Attorney-General aware that the person known as Mother Goose provided evidence for the prosecution in a 1996 case of paedophilia resulting in the conviction of another party, and was this information disclosed in the report received by the Minister for Police which he referred to today?</text>

ATKINSON (Croydon—Attorney-General, Minister for Justice, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:21): </by> The clear innuendo of the question is that, because this identity gave evidence for the prosecution in 1996, he is immune from investigation or prosecution. Of course, if that were true, it would be highly improper. Mr Speaker, I will get a report on the matter.</text>
