Legal Services Commission

In reply to Mr TEAGUE (Heysen) (20 June 2024). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector): I have been advised of the following:

Section 18 of the Criminal Law (Legal Representation) Act 2001 sets out the funding arrangements for state expensive criminal cases.

The 2023-24 estimated result of $7.329 million, as published in the 2024-25 budget, represents a number of state expensive criminal cases. This funding does not relate to Operation Ironside matters.
