The incident that Mr and Mrs Simons
experienced was horrific. It was violent. It was in their home, where they should feel safe, and it was traumatising. Our
hearts go out to that family. I noticed that other members of government have reached out directly to that family, but as the Prime Minister observed
today, the reason that these detainees, unfortunately, were released in the community
are twofold. One is that the High Court found that the federal Morrison Liberal
government's laws were flawed and faulty and did not stand up to
scrutiny. The other issue that the Prime
Minister expressed some frustration about is that the Liberals and Nationals,
combining with the Greens, opposes the new laws that the government
wishes to put in place to keep the community safe. Once again, we see the
Liberal Party completely fail the community when it comes to community safety.
We know that only a Labor government will put in place the laws and make the
necessary hard decisions to ensure that we can keep Western Australians safe.
