❓ Hon. Tjorn Sibma asks about the cost incurred by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) regarding the abandoned prosecution of Jacob Anthonisz. The Attorney General's response indicates that attributing specific costs to Anthonisz alone is not possible due to the multi-accused nature of the case.

to, the principal offender, Mr Paul Whyte,
and Mr Andrew Mitchell, and related to charges arising from the WA Police Force investigation named Operation Tangmere. It is not possible to accurately
