BONAROS (15:14):</by>  Supplementary: is the Attorney able to ask the DPP for a report on the case that we have just outlined, given the issues he's just canvassed, and will the Attorney undertake to report back to this place about whether there are indeed any plans to appeal that sentence?</text>

MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:14):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. I'm not going to start the habit of asking for reports and running commentaries on matters that have occurred from the Office of the Director for Public Prosecutions. However, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask whether any action has or has not been taken, so the second part I am happy to do.</text>
