Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg) (15:06): My question is again to the Attorney-General. What are the estimated legal costs the taxpayer will incur as a result of last week's full court of the Supreme Court decision in Thompson v Dutton 2009 SASC 270?

The Hon. M.J. ATKINSON (Croydon—Attorney-General, Minister for Justice, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (15:06): An independent statutory corporation decided to prosecute an individual and they were not successful. It is all there on the court record for anyone to read.
