Mr Perkins: Does that have a value in money terms?<br />

Dr <strong>Töben</strong>: I – I don’t know. It – I don’t know. A couple of rooms full of<br />

books, whether that’s of value. My topics – I don’t know. I would depend –<br />

anyone – certainly my son is not interested in any of these books, and so …<br />

Mr Perkins: No, I’m asking you about the value, please?<br />

Dr <strong>Töben</strong>: I don’t know. I don’t know what they’re – what they’re worth,<br />

but it’s – my lifetime’s work is in the books. The money – the – whenever I<br />

could I would buy books. This has been my passion, and then, of course …<br />

Mr Perkins: Do you?<br />

Dr <strong>Töben</strong>: … writing in them.<br />

Mr Perkins: Do you own a house?<br />

Dr <strong>Töben</strong>: Yes, I do.<br />

Mr Perkins: And whereabouts is that?<br />

Dr <strong>Töben</strong>: That is in the western district in Victoria. It is the family home.<br />

Mr Perkins: And who lives in that house?<br />

Dr <strong>Töben</strong>: No one. It is a very small house.<br />

Mr Perkins: And what condition is that in?<br />

Dr <strong>Töben</strong>: Liveable. But there is a caveat on it, two caveats. Back in the<br />

days of the family court, when my marriage and family dissolved, the legal<br />

aid has a caveat on it. So, in effect, if it was sold there would be nothing<br />

out of it.<br />

Mr Perkins: Yes. The address that you gave in Adelaide where you live,<br />

do you own that property?<br />

Dr <strong>Töben</strong>: No, I don’t.<br />

Mr Perkins: Do you pay rent?<br />

Dr <strong>Töben</strong>: No, I don’t.<br />

Mr Perkins: Do you live there at the licence of somebody who owns it?<br />

Dr <strong>Töben</strong>: I do, have been for the last 15 years.<br />

Mr Perkins: Do you own a car?<br />

Dr <strong>Töben</strong>: I do.<br />

Mr Perkins: And are you able to tell his Honour the value of that car?<br />

Dr <strong>Töben</strong>: It is worth about $5000.<br />

Mr Perkins: When – if your Honour pleases, that’s the re-examination.<br />

HIS HONOUR: Thank you. That completes your re-examination, Mr<br />

Perkins?<br />

MR PERKINS: Yes, your Honour.<br />

HIS HONOUR: Thank you. Mr Margo, do you wish to ask any<br />

questions in relation to Dr Toben’s financial position?<br />

MR MARGO: No, your Honour.<br />

HIS HONOUR: Thank you. Dr Toben, that completes your evidence.<br />

Thank you.<br />

Dr <strong>Töben</strong>: Thank you.<br />
