RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:05):</by>  Thank you, Mr Speaker. I think it is important for members opposite to know, and I will make this very clear, that I as Attorney-General do not—I repeat, do not—sit down and survey every single decision of every single court every single day so that I am familiar with what every single defendant in South Australia is doing at any point in time.</text>

So, from time to time, people make me aware of particular issues, and so far as I am aware the first time that any suggestion about driving a bus has come to my attention has been in the last 24 hours, when it has been raised by, I believe, the member for Unley—who had been sitting on that information and not telling the police about it for about a fortnight.</text>
