LISA MOTT — REWARD FOR INFORMATION
690. Mr
P.A. KATSAMBANIS to the Minister for Police:
In relation to Lisa Mott, has a decision
be made to offer this $1 million reward; and, if a decision has —
Ms M.M. Quirk : Didn't
you hear the answer?
Mr P.A. KATSAMBANIS : I want
to clarify this. If a decision has not yet been made, what sort of time frame
does the minister envisage the decision will be made in? As the minister
pointed out, there is a family and a mother and they are vitally interested in
getting an outcome as soon as they can.

These are tried-and-true, standard
practices that police utilise. One thing we do not do is announce a reward when
someone has died without speaking to their loved ones. I could say more about
other rewards and so forth, but police make contact with those loved ones. I know
that in this case, Joe Spagnolo also spoke to the mum. Our cold case homicide
officers are certainly consulted as part of that. I am very confident that an
announcement will be made imminently.
