CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government) (14:39):</by>  I again indicate to the member that if there is information that can be made available, I will make that inquiry as to what may be able to be available in relation to this matter.</text>
        <text id="20210622a8fc78402ac24267b0000529">But there are a number of things that really need to be prioritised. One is the criminal trial that's currently progressing. Secondly, it's usual then for the Coroner to make a decision as to whether there is going to be a full inquest in relation to the death of a child, which of course is a reportable death and then, of course, other matters may follow. But, in the meantime, the priority is ensuring that the criminal prosecution is not prejudiced in any way, which is why we have a rule in relation to matters that are sub judice to not discuss those. But I will make that inquiry and, if information can be made available, I will advise the member.</text>
