          <by role="member" id="3404">The Hon. J.A. DARLEY:</by>  Questions about Mr Stojan's matter were first raised in this parliament by Nick Xenophon in 2005. These questions still remain unanswered, despite repeated requests from me since my coming to this place. Over the past 18 months, my office has made contact with the Attorney's office on some 18 occasions requesting feedback in relation to Mr Stojan's matter. The silent response has been deafening. Worse still, no reason for ignoring these requests has been provided; in fact, nothing has been provided at all. My questions are:</text>
        <text id="201405080498fc7d04d0430280000235">1.&amp;#x9;Does the Attorney consider it appropriate for these questions to remain unanswered for almost nine years?</text>
        <text id="201405080498fc7d04d0430280000236">2.&amp;#x9;Why is the Attorney ignoring me on this issue?</text>
        <text id="201405080498fc7d04d0430280000237">3.&amp;#x9;When can I expect a response to my letters on this issue?</text>
        <text id="201405080498fc7d04d0430280000238">4.&amp;#x9;When can Mr Stojan expect a response to the questions originally asked by Nick Xenophon in 2005?</text>
