SA Courts System Delays

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:21): I will phrase it another way: is it likely that there will be bail applications now from others who have been in remand for a long time looking to be released because of delays in their trials?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:21): I thank the honourable member for his question. Without having had the benefit of properly analysing and getting advice on the reasoning behind this particular case, and the particular and individual circumstances of this case, I would want to get that advice before answering, but I certainly will do that and happy to bring back a reply to the honourable member.
