Victims of Crime Fund

The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD (15:20): Supplementary: in this particular case, Attorney, are you aware of the status of the situation? How long until an outcome?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:20): My understanding in this particular case is that the state has reached an agreement with the claimants involved, who were legally represented, and that a deed of settlement has been reached that in fact does take that into account. I am advised it takes into account a payment for the civil claim minus the original payment from the scheme of last resort.
