I refer to the
Bail Amendment Bill 2022.

Attorney General aware that there is an active suppression order in place
regarding the case that precipitated the development of this bill?
(2) If yes to
(1), when did he first become aware of the order?
(3) Will the
Attorney General provide a de-identified copy of the order?
(4) If no to (3),
will the Attorney General undertake to provide a notice to the Auditor General
and both houses in compliance with section 82 of the Financial Management Act
2006?
