Director of Public Prosecutions

Response of Director of Public Prosecutions Kerri Judd KC to the Special Report of the Office of the Special Investigator

Jaclyn SYMES (Northern Victoria – Attorney-General, Minister for Emergency Services) (09:33): I move, by leave:

That the Response of Director of Public Prosecutions Kerri Judd KC to the Special Report of the Office of the Special Investigator be tabled.

I have just a few brief comments if it pleases. I table the report from the DPP to the Special Report of the Office of the Special Investigator for the information of the house. The DPP believes the Parliament should be afforded of her response to the issues raised in yesterday’s report, and the tabling of the report acquits that responsibility. Both officers are respected independent statutory office holders. They have separate clearly defined roles, and I support both officers in those respective roles as they are legislated by this Parliament.

Motion agreed to.
