The Advertiser: Still work to do, says Pallaras [11feb06]
DIRECTOR of Public Prosecutions Stephen Pallaras says his office’s strained relationship with the State Government is far from fixed. Mr Pallaras, since taking over last April, has clashed with the Government on such issues as the Paul Nemer case, the Kapunda Road Royal Commission and sentencing appeals. ‘We’re still working on it,’ Mr Pallaras says. ‘Things have been difficult and things need to be improved.’

Mr Pallaras, however, says he will not give the Government a wishlist before the March 18 election because he believes it is ‘well aware’ of the challenges facing the courts. In a move to quell ‘uninformed criticism’ of his office, he held an open day to give the SA community an opportunity to make up its mind about the office and its role in the state.”
