Jenkins, Mrs A.

In reply to the Hon. F. PANGALLO ().16 November 2023).

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector): I am advised:

The South Australian legislation which provides for compensation for victims of crime makes limited provision for compensation when the offence is committed overseas. I have some discretion in relation to such applications.

If Ms Jenkins' family were to bring an application for financial assistance, I will seek advice from the Crown Solicitor's Office about whether or not I can exercise that discretion.

On 7 July 2023, I wrote to Ms Jenkins' children, Greg and Jen, to communicate this information. I have not received an application for financial assistance from Ms Jenkins' family at this stage.
