Harvey, Mark Christopher

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:00): My question is to the Attorney-General. Has the Attorney received advice that would indicate that Mark Christopher Harvey will lodge an appeal in respect of yesterday's proceedings?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations) (15:00): I thank the honourable member for her question. I have received no further information, to the present time, from the Director of Public Prosecutions about that particular matter. However, as the honourable member would appreciate, appeals being what they are, a would-be appellant has to realise that time is of the essence, and I would expect something to be happening sooner rather than later.
