MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:06):</by>  I thank the honourable member for his question. I should have mentioned that here before. I often talk about that when I answer questions about decisions that courts have taken. It is, of course, open to, I assume it is the police prosecution in the Magistrates Court, appeal. It is open to appeal if the decision doesn't fit what the authorities have laid down.</text>
        <text id="202311141e011ef57ade413490000216">We do very, very regularly see appeals launched, either by the DPP for major indictable offences or for matters in the Magistrates Court by the police, in relation to these matters. I am absolutely confident that the authorities, which I am assuming for this case in the Magistrates Court will be the police, will be considering just that.</text>
