CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (14:04):</by>  The report which has been referred to and which was tabled in the parliament yesterday, which was the advice as outlined by the Leader of the Opposition, was a document pursuant to the Full Court decision, which was subsequently released under the delegated responsibility of the chief executive.</text>
        <page num="5568" />
        <text id="20190501ce1b3be9a7954ac090000346">As members know from previous advice to the parliament, the Chief Executive of the Attorney-General's Department had the conduct of this matter since the election of the new government—for obvious reasons, but I am happy to recount them if necessary—and the whole question of the freedom of information application of Channel 7 had culminated in a decision on a question of law before the Full Court populated by three Victorian Supreme Court judges on 12 April. That was a decision that was made, and subsequently the chief executive determined to release the report.</text>

I was provided a copy that night. I spent a good part of ANZAC Day reading it. To the best of my knowledge, the only other copy that was provided on that day was to the current Chief Justice.</text>
