EASLING, MR T.

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (15:04): My question is to the Attorney-General. When the Attorney-General stated in his answer of 27 November 2008 that the member for Davenport would know exactly the incident in the trial—in the summing up—to which the minister was referring, was the only alleged occasion the Attorney-General was referring to the time of departmental officer Mr Craig Reed's attendance at Mr Easling's home on 22 December 1992 to pick up one boy to take to the Glandore unit?

The Hon. M.J. ATKINSON (Croydon—Attorney-General, Minister for Justice, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (15:05): There is a summing up in the Easling trial running to something like 200 pages. There are lever arch files containing masses of evidence led in the trial. I suggest the member for Davenport, for the first time, familiarise himself with them.
