408. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS to the Minister for Police:

people are so frightened in their homes and that assaults have gone up by 48 per

Midland's data with respect to that specific information about
assaults.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Thank you, members!
Mrs
L.M. HARVEY : I am pleased to inform the house that on this government's
