          <by role="member" id="546">Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:01):</by>  My question again is to the Attorney-General. Particularly given the answer to that previous question, why is it that with the Nemer case the government launched a media campaign and took court action to direct the DPP to appeal the sentence, but in the case of the convicted child sex offender Malcolm Fox the Attorney-General will not use same process?</text>

RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice, Minister for Urban Development, Planning and the City of Adelaide, Minister for Tourism, Minister for Food Marketing) (15:01):</by>  Perhaps I can answer this in terms that may make sense to the honourable deputy leader. There are things that grow on two different types of trees. One tree is called an apple tree and one tree is called an orange tree. You pick oranges off orange trees and apples off apple trees, you put them together, and they are not the same. That is the answer to your question.</text>
