PANGALLO (15:15):</by>  Supplementary: I will just point out to the Attorney-General that I have actually written to the police minister about this case some time ago. Can I ask the Attorney-General: who makes the determination for the early release—the Parole Board or the Department for Correctional Services?</text>
