MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:32):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. I would be loath to step in and say that every time something occurs that is reported on we will step in and have some sort of independent review of a bail authority's decision. In this case, as the honourable member has outlined, it was police bail that was granted. I do not have all the details of what was taken into account by the police at the time of making that decision, and certainly when we hear about bail being granted or not, a judicial bail by a court, they take into account all the evidence that is presented to them.</text>
        <text id="20241113a765a0e6130a428ea0000294">I have every confidence that the South Australian police regularly look at how they go about their practices and what they do, and that if they think something needs to be changed they make recommendations to government. If they think something needs to be changed within their own practices about how they do things, including grant police bail, I have every confidence that they will look at that themselves.</text>
