Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 12 Hansard (21 November) . . Page.. 4152 ..

Mr Humphries - The answer to the member's question is as follows:

As was published recently in The Canberra Times, Mr Eastman applied unsuccessfully to the Legal Aid Commission for assistance to pursue his appeal.

The Director of Public Prosecutions has not yet been apprised of the settled grounds on the appeal and, until such time as they are, any answer I might make as to the costs of this side of the appeal would be speculative.
