Keogh Case

Mr KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:48): My question is to the Attorney-General. Has the Attorney met with the family of Anna-Jane Cheney?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (14:48): I am not sure where the member for West Torrens has been in the last half an hour, but I think I have made it abundantly clear that, although I had extended an invitation to the person I was advised was the last known representative of the immediate family to meet and advise them of the proposed settlement announcement, that was declined. They requested that their privacy be respected and that when I made an announcement that that would be conveyed.

So, no, I haven't met with them or, in that case, that particular member of the immediate family who purported to be the representative. As best I understand, in the last couple of years it has been the representative personal spokesperson that our department has dealt with during the course of the events since the decision of the Court of Criminal Appeal.
