          <by role="member" id="1813">Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:47):</by>  My question is to the Attorney-General. Has he sent a memorandum to the police commissioner regarding the Shane Andrew Robinson case, what did the memorandum state, and will he table a copy of the memorandum? This morning on radio the Attorney-General stated:</text>
        <text id="20090714635d4f0f5ad24c5b90000538">
          <inserted>I've sent a memo to the commissioner about it, but the police minister came out yesterday and enumerated all the things the police did to try to recapture him, and the public can make their judgment on those things.</inserted>

ATKINSON:</by>  Yes, I shall table it, because I sent it off yesterday, just as I sent off an equivalent memo to the chairman of the Parole Board, and I shall look forward to the reply. But, as I said on radio this morning, I think the answers given by the Minister for Police in the public arena more than adequately answer the question I pose in the memo. But I promised to send the police commissioner a memo, and I did, and I will table it.</text>
