RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:02):</by>  Yes, I am aware of that. I have received notification about this matter recently which is sourced from SAPOL and which indicates precisely that, which I was trying to explain in an earlier answer I gave. Not only had they not received information, according to the information I have, but they had taken steps for some considerable period of time to have covert operatives in the field trying to find out whether, in fact, this particular individual was in breach of these conditions. So, they weren't simply sitting there waiting for somebody to complain, they were also there on the front foot, as I am advised, having both occasional covert visits to the place of work to see whether there had been compliance with bail conditions and, in addition to this, initiating a human source in a position to be able to provide information regarding compliance, and neither of those turned up any information of assistance to the police.</text>
