Data Harvesting

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15:09): My question is to the Premier. Has the Premier requested or received a government indemnity for legal representation as a result of the Ombudsman's evidence to the Crime and Public Integrity Policy Committee for the misuse of data?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government) (15:09): In relation to the process that was to occur in relation to members of the public sector—and that includes members of parliament, ministers—and their entitlement to have reimbursement for legal representation or legal fees incurred in relation to certain inquiries, that is a matter which is referred to and has all its rules around a matter that goes before the Crown Solicitor. It's not a matter for the Premier.
