I refer to reports that a 65 year old serial child sex offender 'MDG' has been released into the community on a supervision order which directs compliance with 49 conditions, and I ask, what will be the full financial cost, on a yearly basis, to the Western Australian taxpayer of the Western Australia Police Force's management and supervision of 'MGD' in the community in a manner which ensures his compliance with all conditions of his release?
