Bail

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:59): Supplementary question: does the Attorney review cases that are ventilated in the media and look at root cause analysis?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:59): I thank the honourable member for her question. Certainly, myself, I don't make the decisions and I don't review cases with a look at determining what further course of action or whether an appeal should be taken or not. I will certainly on occasions discuss it with people like the Director of Public Prosecutions, who are well-versed, well-qualified and do these sorts of things on a daily basis.
