In the light of the opinions expressed in the above judgment by Mr Justice Steytler, concurred with by Chief Justice Malcolm, about the credibility of police evidence in the trials and subsequent appeals of Raymond and Peter Mickelberg, what action has the Attorney General taken, or will the Attorney General take, to ensure that the following former or currently serving police officers are brought before juries on charges relevant to their apparently fabricated evidence - William Round, John Gillespie, Andrew Tovey, James Allen, Ljiliana Cvijic, Henry Hooft, Frank Bower, Kenneth Henning and Robert Kucera?

I have received an answer from the Attorney General, but I need to check the matter more closely. Therefore, I invite the honourable member to ask the question tomorrow.
