With reference to the Independent Review into legal assistance provided to state servants during the Commission of Inquiry into the Tasmanian Government’s Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in Institutional Settings, which the Attorney-General announced on the 18th of December 2023 was to be undertaken by Mr Sam Tatarka OAM, can the government please provide an update on the status of the Independent Review, including the following:
- Has the Independent Review been completed, and if not what is the expected timeframe by which it is expected to be completed?;
- If the Independent Review has been completed, has the Final Report been submitted to the Attorney-General, and if so on what date was it submitted?; and
If the Attorney-General is in receipt of the Independent Reviewer’s Final Report, when does he expect to table the Report and its recommendations, or as much of the Report ‘as permitted by law’ as indicated by the media statement issued by the Attorney-General on the 18th of December 2023.
