          <by role="member" id="633">The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:17):</by> My question is to the Attorney-General. Has the Attorney-General since being the Attorney-General approved the reimbursement of any legal fees to members of parliament because of investigations underway by ICAC, the Ombudsman or any other body?</text>

          <by role="member" id="1804">The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government) (14:17):</by>  I have just answered that question. Former members of parliament and current members of parliament, I have provided the number. From memory, it is six, but it is coming through in an answer to the member on a question I have taken on notice. I haven't specified what political party they are in or whether they are an Independent or whatever but, to the best of my knowledge, there hasn't been any application for the matter that you have raised, but I can identify that.</text>
        <text id="202108252ca4f913c9244c2eb0000455">Again, if there is any indication—because you go through these from time to time as to whoever they are, and my capacity to be able to disclose that to the parliament is more limited, as I understand it. But I have been given advice and I have provided you with the best answer and it is coming to you, if it is not already on your desk.</text>
