          <by role="member" id="563">The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:57):</by>  Does the Attorney-General think it worth whoever is investigating the Audrey Stratton claim re the Victim Support Service to interview Ms Stratton about her claim, and will she be interviewed as part of the investigation? On 5 February I raised the issue of whether any officer of the Attorney-General's Department put pressure on the Victim Support Service to have its employee, Audrey Stratton, not attend court in support of Tom Easling and/or to have her dismissed if she did attend court in support of Mr Easling. The Attorney said it would be investigated. It has now been four months since the Attorney-General promised an investigation and Ms Stratton has not been contacted.</text>
