South Australia's Police Commissioner has announced no further action will be taken against Attorney-General Vickie Chapman, over an allegation she breached the state's strict ICAC secrecy laws.

Last week, Ms Chapman confirmed she had been the subject of a police investigation over a statement she made last year.

Independent Commissioner Against Corruption (ICAC) Bruce Lander later confirmed he did not give Ms Chapman permission to release her statement, but gave the media permission to publish it.

Last week, police confirmed that they had referred the matter to Director of Public Prosecutions [DPP] Adam Kimber, who then referred it to outside counsel for advice.

Today, Police Commissioner Grant Stevens said it had received an opinion from external lawyers and as a result there would be no further investigation or action taken.

"Commissioner Stevens confirms that a formal response has been received from the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions," a statement from SA Police read.

"As a result of the advice provided through the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions there will be no further investigation or other action taken in relation to the matter involving the Attorney-General and no further comment will be made."

Earlier today, SA Premier Steven Marshall said he was personally told by Mr Stevens that investigators did not recommend Ms Chapman be prosecuted over the comments.

"I just asked the question in recent days, I just asked the Police Commissioner 'so did the evidence that went to the DPP go with a recommendation for prosecution?' And he said 'no'," Mr Marshall told ABC Radio Adelaide.

"The police force did what they were asked to do — they gathered that information and they passed it to the DPP for further assessment.

"To then now beat it up, beat it up [to suggest] there's a prosecution pending — it's fanciful."

In a statement from the State Government, a spokesperson said Ms Chapman would now focus on getting on with her job.

"As the Attorney-General has done throughout this entire matter, she is getting on with her job and working for South Australians," the spokesperson said.

"It's time for the Labor Party to stop playing political games and start doing the same."

Previously under pressure to resign

Ms Chapman has previously come under pressure to resign over her comments, but Mr Marshall today said that was unnecessary.

"I think Vickie Chapman's got plenty of things to be doing — I don't think that she should be standing aside unless there is any evidence that's been presented," he said.

"There has not been any suggestion that there has been a prosecution pending.

"We've had two sets of independent legal advice which have said there has been no breach to the ICAC Act."

South Australia's ICAC Act prevents anyone from publishing information which tends to suggest anyone is the subject of an ICAC complaint, assessment, investigation or referral, without the express consent of the commissioner.

The offence is punishable by a fine of up to $30,000 for individuals.

At the time, the Opposition said it had got legal advice that suggested the Attorney-General had breached the act.
