When he was removed, Morrison was non-responsive, and he died at the Royal Adelaide hospital three days later. Hall spent most of Friday’s morning session refusing to answer several lines of questions by claiming “penalty privilege”. Penalty privilege is a legal protection that allows a witness at an inquest to remain silent where they may attract criminal or civil liability. The South Australian government removed the protection in March but the change does not apply retrospectively. The Morrison inquest has been running for almost five years since his death on 26 September 2016. The coroner on Friday afternoon allowed a line of questioning about the initial incident that sparked Morrison’s restraint, directing Hall to answer.
