House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Keogh Case Keogh Case Mr KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly West Torrens Keogh Case Mr KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:51): My question is to the Attorney-General. Did the Attorney-General consult with the victims of crime commissioner in relation to the payment to Mr Keogh? The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN House of Assembly Bragg Deputy Premier Attorney-General Keogh Case The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (14:51): The answer to that question is no. However, I did consider the question of whether the victims of crime commissioner ought to be advised in respect of the decision of the government and the invitation to coordinate any arrangements with the family, but I was informed by my department that in fact the victims of crime commissioner hadn't been involved in this case; that is, there were other parties, including the witness support program through the DPP's office, that had had most contact with the members of the family. Indeed, it was through those personnel that we then set up the proposed invitation and arrangements for that purpose. So, yes, it was considered as to whether that was appropriate, and my advice was that there were other personnel who had taken up that responsibility within the government departments to support the victims in those circumstances.
