Director of Public Prosecutions

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (14:29): Supplementary question: the Attorney seems to be wallpapering over the real, significant issues that have also been discovered in this report.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: Point of order: a supplementary question doesn't have a long, discursive introductory section.

The PRESIDENT: I have listened to the point of order. The Hon. Mr Pangallo, with a supplementary you just have to ask the question. You can't have a lead-up.

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: Does the Attorney-General acknowledge it isn't just the work that the prosecutors are doing in that department but also the significant bullying and harassment of staff that has gone on?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:30): I thank the honourable member for the question. As is laid bare in the report, there are workplace cultural issues that have been identified and the director is committed to address.
