The Hon. MICHAEL GALLACHER: My question is directed to the Minister for Justice, representing the Minister for Police. Will the Minister explain why Christopher John Laycock, a self-confessed corrupt cop, who took bribes and allowed a child pornographer to escape arrest, is still a free man, despite the fact that police recommended that he be charged and brought before a court six months prior to the very public hearings of the Police Integrity Commission?
The Hon. JOHN HATZISTERGOS: I will refer the question to the Minister for Police.
