2nd June 2011 Letter from Director-General of the Department of Justice and Attorney-General, Philip Reed. In response to my 17th May 2011 email to the Attorney-General and the Premier. Mr. Reed advises: “Your correspondence is currently receiving attention and a response will be provided to you as soon as possible.”

This is the first time that I have ever received correspondence from the Director-General of the Department of Justice and Attorney-General, and I can only hope that it is an indication that Attorney-General Paul Lucas has requested a recommendation on reform action from his Department.
