My question is to the Attorney-General. Today the South Australian Court of Appeal is considering tax office whistleblower Richard Boyle's case. Mr Boyle faces trial and a potential prison term because he's not protected by the Public Interest Disclosure Act. Why has the government failed to intervene in Mr Boyle's case? And when will you fix whistleblower protection laws, including by introducing a whistleblower protection commissioner?
