Deputy Speaker, thank you to the hon Selfe. I have articulated my position clearly on this matter before, Mr Selfe. In fact, what is even more interesting to me is that you do not ask or state why it is that I should send this matter for review. And yet I am required to supply reasons why I have not done this.
I have indicated in the past that unless I am provided with compelling reasons to take this matter for review, I will not do so. Until such time as this information is provided to me, I will not do so.
It is not, in fact, correct that I should act on the basis of information that is in the public domain through the media. I thought that we all understood procedures and how the parole system works; and therefore I cannot be expected to take a matter of this nature for review on the basis of the public outcry and of information contained in the media. Thank you.
