Director of Public Prosecutions Office

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (14:34): Supplementary: does the Attorney-General acknowledge that those recommended reforms within that office are going to cost a significant amount of money? Why hasn't any one individual been held accountable for what's going on?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:34): I thank the honourable member for his question. In relation to the first one, in terms of funding, no, not necessarily. In relation to: why hasn't anyone been held accountable? The director has been on record saying that the buck stops with him in relation to the management of the office, and that's why he is keen to make sure that these issues are addressed and to implement the recommendations.
