    MADDISON HALL PAROLE
Page: 1962


    Mr PETER DEBNAM: I direct my question without notice to the Attorney General. Given that the Attorney General has failed to monitor convicted paedophile John Lewthwaite, despite his specific promise, and given that the parole authority previously released Maddison Hall on the condition that he would not spread HIV, what new guarantee can the Attorney General give the community that when Hall is released he will be effectively monitored and the community protected?

    Mr BOB DEBUS: I have described legal actions that I have under consideration with respect to this matter but the Parole Board is not my responsibility; it is the responsibility of the Minister for Corrective Services. That is the plain fact of the matter.

    Mr Peter Debnam: Point of order: My point of order relates to relevance. The Attorney General made promises about John Lewthwaite that were absolutely worthless.

    Mr SPEAKER: Order! There is no point of order. The Leader of the Opposition is debating the matter.
