I thank the Leader of the Opposition
for some notice of the question.
(1) No.
(2) Recommendation
1 relates to the findings from the inquest into the death of ''Mootijah''
Shillingsworth in New South Wales. The WA Department of Justice considered the
findings and yielded no identifiable improvements for implementation by the
department as most of the issues were specific to shortfalls identified in the
NSW processes. These shortfalls are not present in WA.
