I thank the member for some notice
of the question. The following answer has been provided to me by the Attorney General.
It is inappropriate to answer the
question on the grounds that it relates to the performance by the assessor of
her functions as an assessor of criminal injuries compensation in respect of a particular
application and, in performing those functions, the assessor acts independently
from government.
