I have a supplementary question. How does the Premier explain his decision to free Excell in view of his pre-election media release issued on 5 February this year promising that “convicted child sex offenders will be locked away indefinitely under a new government plan to further crack down on child sex abuse”?

We hope that when that legislation comes to the Parliament it will get speedy passage through not only this house but also the other place.
