MANOCK, DR C.

In reply to the Hon. A. BRESSINGTON (1 April 2008).

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business): The Attorney-General has provided the following information:

Petitions have already been considered for the cases of Henry Keogh, David Szach and Derek Bromley and, on advice from the Solicitor-General, these petitions have been dismissed. Any Attorney-General who referred these cases to the Court of Criminal Appeal against advice, and owing to his being menaced by a reporter on the Today Tonight program, would be acting unlawfully and in breach of his oath of office.
