Renewal SA

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:56): My question is to the Attorney-General. At what time on 27 September 2018 did the Attorney-General issue a public statement to media outlets in relation to the ICAC investigation into two Renewal SA staff?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (14:56): Well, I can't answer exactly the time of that, either, but I did issue a public statement on that day, and I stand by it, and I confirm that, when the opposition kept raising this spectre of alleged breach of the act, I obtained legal advice—and the member for West Torrens is well aware of that—from the Crown Solicitor's Office. It has not been disclosed for obvious reasons. I have read it. I have taken the advice, and I am satisfied that I am not in breach of any part of the act.

The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens and then the member for Kavel.
