Anderson Review

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:08): Supplementary: has the author of the report, Mr Anderson QC, requested of the government that any part of that report not be published? Can the Attorney confirm whether any of the references in that report relate to Mr Robert Chappell, EO of the Independent Gambling Authority, whose employment ceased a few months ago?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for Consumer and Business Services, Minister for the City of Adelaide) (15:08): As to the first part of that question, I do not recall Mr Anderson having said anything of that nature to me. I will check my notes, but I don't think Mr Anderson is of the view that anything he had to say is not his view.

But that said, I have mentioned already that if you're getting a frank and fearless report in relation to matters and a person writes in those circumstances, my only point is that may be perfectly suitable for particular purposes for which the report was sought and it may or may not be that that's appropriate for broader distribution in that format. That's really all I have to say about that topic.
