- How many residents of the Hunter have been turned away from Legal Aid NSW
from 20 October 2014 to 20 October 2015?
- How many of these residents were financially eligible applicants?
- How many of these residents were first time offenders?

Answer -
|
Legal Aid NSW runs free civil, family and criminal law advice clinics at a
range of locations around NSW, including in the Hunter region. I am advised
that Legal Aid:
- Is not aware of any residents who were turned away from 20 October 2014 to
20 October 2015.
- Does not keep data on outcomes for defendants who are refused Legal Aid
representation.
