Noarlunga Centre Incident

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:16): My question is to the Attorney-General. Can the Attorney-General advise if the 20-year-old man has ever been denied parole?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (14:16): Again, that is a matter which, for the reasons that have been said in the previous answer, I won't be making a comment on. I would ask the Leader of the Opposition, if he is not prepared to get advice on this matter and understand the significance—the gravity—of the consequences of proceeding with public statements—

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis: It's a bit rich coming from you, isn't it?

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: —when there is a matter before the courts, including the antecedents—

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis: It didn't bother you in opposition.

The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens has been warned.

Mr Picton: Let's talk about that Hillier murder. When did you ask questions on that?

The SPEAKER: The member for Kaurna is called to order.

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: I would ask him to get advice. If, as there have been on occasions in the past where there are existing matters, a private briefing on a confidential basis is appropriate, I will make some inquiry about that, but I just point out to the opposition—

Mr Malinauskas: You gladly spoke about Deboo yesterday.

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: —the importance of not prejudicing what would be the otherwise lawful and appropriate prosecution in a case.
