Crown Solicitor

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:43): My question is to the Attorney-General. Is the government meeting the costs of legal counsel, including Mr Michael Abbott, of those represented and the maladministration inquiry?

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) (14:43): Applications by anybody who is legally represented will be processed according to the standard policy and circular that apply to any person who is legally represented. Those processes involve the person concerned making submissions to the Crown Solicitor in relation to those matters. That is the way in which the matter would proceed.
