Victims of Crime Fund

Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (15:24): Further supplementary: this isn't an imaginary circumstance. This person has been asked to prove it was the coward punch that caused their injury. Where does this person go to get that sort of proof?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government) (15:25): I think I have outlined that, but I am happy to get some further information to ascertain whether there has been any other advice sought. But largely, in relation to a claim arising out of the conduct by another in relation to a civil matter—it may be a civil matter. If it's a compensation matter arising out of a claim against the Victims of Crime Fund, then generally that requires that there be either a convicted party or an offender unknown, and that can be in some circumstances available. It is only available for personal injuries. If there is some other aspect that I can assist the member with, I am happy to take the detail.
