Members who raised the points of order. There seems to be a misapprehension that the DPP, whether independent or answering to the Attorney- General, is required to prosecute each and every person against whom a complaint is made. That is not the law. It has never been the law. Every prosecutor enjoys prosecutorial discretion. Upon a complaint being made, every prosecutor must ask himself or herself: Do I have the evidence? Do I have the documents? Do I have the witnesses? Ultimately, he must ask himself: Am I looking at a case with reasonable chances of success?"}
