Mr BURKE - 2005-03-22
You see? I only ask a question and then I am abused. That is the way it works.
Madam SPEAKER: Well, as long as you do not do the same, Leader of the Opposition.
Mr BURKE: Attorney-General, can you confirm that you know the identity of this prominent Territorian charged with child sex offences? In your capacity as Minister for Health, can you confirm that this person stayed at the Darwin Private Hospital under a false name? Can you also tell this House whether you have received briefings regarding this matter from the Department of Justice, the DPP, the police or the Police minister, and provide details of those briefings: when they occurred, who with, and the content? Please answer the question.
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, the answer to all three elements of that question is confidential.
