I refer to the ABC article of 10
December 2021 entitled East Kimberley education worker cleared of criminal
charges after leaking dire school attendance figures which reported that “After
a two-day trial in Kununurra Magistrates Court, Brock Burston was found not
guilty of improperly releasing confidential information”, and I ask: (a) how
many hours were recorded by those prosecuting the case; and (b) was
there any other associated expenditure and, if so, how much?
