Tassone, Mr B.

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:05): I have a supplementary arising from the minister's answer. Was the minister's department consulted by the Crown Solicitor's Office before the final commercial settlement?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:06): Presumably they were. I can only assume that the Department for Correctional Services was in regular contact with the crown's office. I am advised that the crown's office was seeking and was given information from the Department for Correctional Services which would have, no doubt, informed the crown's position throughout the matter.
