QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the statement of the Minister for Justice in this house that two eastern states sex offenders and a paedophile are currently serving their parole in Western Australia because of an arrangement that has been signed off by this government. Will the Premier explain to the house why it is in the best interests of Western Australians to accommodate eastern states paedophiles and sex offenders in WA? Dr G.I. GALLOP

I support a cooperative approach to federalism in Australia. It is clear to me that when the states have a mutual interest in cooperating it is good for all sides.
