          <by role="member" id="1804">Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg) (16:42): </by> My question is again to the Attorney-General. Why did the Attorney-General on 14 July 2009 claim in this parliament that Judge Kitchen had declined an application made by the DPP for the serious repeat offender legislation to apply, when the judgment in the case confirms that the prosecution had not even applied to have the offender declared a serious repeat offender, as they had acknowledged that the law did not apply to him, and will he now apologise to the now retired judge?</text>

ATKINSON (Croydon—Attorney-General, Minister for Justice, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (16:42): </by> I will gather the detail and get back to the house with an answer. But I certainly stand by the account I gave at the initial news conference about Shane Andrew Robinson that occurred at my electorate office on a Friday. I have, in fact, been discussing this matter with judges, and I will get back to the house with a detailed reply.</text>
