STATISTICS — CAR THEFT
92. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS to the
Minister for Police:
I have a supplementary question. Is it not the case that only
300 cars in the whole state have been fitted with that technology; and, how does
the minister expect that to make a difference?

Perhaps the member for Midland was not listening to what I
said. I said it was a trial. We trial the technology first —
Mrs
M.H. Roberts : LetXXX ###XXXs not go too fast then!
Mrs L.M. HARVEY :
Oh, for goodness sake, like it is a surprise! Of course, we do a trial with new
technology to work out how effective it is, whether it can be rolled out across
regional areas, whether there will be constraints such as mobile phone black
spots, for example. Of course we are having a trial. We want to make sure it
works before we roll it out, member for Midland; that is being sensible.
