Personal Explanation

Supreme Court Appointments

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (15:41): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: In question time today, I provided information to the parliament in respect of the auxiliary judges who have undertaken work and indicated there was only one, that is, former judge of the Supreme Court Michael David. In fact, I am informed that a second auxiliary judge has been utilised. I am not sure yet how long it was for, whether it was one application or for a day or whatever, but nevertheless I advise the house that Katrina Bochner, one of the masters that I had indicated had been appointed, has also been utilised.
