Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Coronial Report Coronial Report The Hon. J.A. DARLEY Legislative Council Coronial Report The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (14:52): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Leader of the Government, representing the Attorney-General, a question concerning a decision made by the state Coroner. Leave granted. The Hon. J.A. DARLEY Legislative Council The Hon. J.A. DARLEY: I was contacted by a constituent whose father suicided in the 1980s whilst a member of the South Australia Police. My constituent was only nine at the time of her father's death and she has recently embarked on a personal journey to get to know her father and better understand him as a person. As part of this process, my constituent asked if I could assist her with obtaining a copy of the coronial file. I wrote to the Coroner in late January and received the following letter in late March in response. I seek leave to table the letter from the Coroner to me. Leave granted. The Hon. J.A. DARLEY Legislative Council The Hon. J.A. DARLEY: In my request, I asked that the file be provided with sensitive information redacted; however, the Coroner has refused release of the entire file. My questions are: 1.	Is the Attorney-General aware of the state Coroner's decision to refuse this request? 2.	Is the Attorney aware of any other circumstance where coronial files have been refused outright rather than provided with sensitive information redacted? The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:53): I will refer the honourable member's question to the Attorney and bring back a reply.
