I have a supplementary question. Will the Premier now act in the best interests of Western Australians by immediately sending these criminals back to the states from which they came? Dr G.I. GALLOP

AnswerView source ↗

I support the arrangements that have been entered into. I have the view - it is the view of the Attorney General and the Minister for Justice - that community safety should always come first in all the deliberations made by the Parole Board on these matters.
