Keogh Case

Mr KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:34): My question is to the Attorney-General. Will the Attorney-General make public the details of the clamp on Mr Henry Keogh now that the case has been resolved and the deed has been signed?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (14:34): I am not sure of the extent of what is sought. I am assuming this relates to correspondence between the government and/or the Crown Solicitor's Office in relation to the negotiated terms of settlement. The answer to that is no, but I will check with our department if there is any aspect that is disclosable. But generally, in relation to the negotiations, that material is privileged, as it should be. I am sure even the member would remember, dim in the history when he was a member of cabinet, that there are occasions on which ministers and/or cabinet obtain legal advice and that is of course protected by privilege.
