On behalf of the minister
representing the Minister for Police, I thank the honourable member for some
notice of the question.
(1)–(2) As
the honourable member has been previously advised, the state government is
progressing the drafting of the amendments
to the Community Protection (Offender Reporting) Act 2004. It would not be
appropriate to provide further comment on those amendments until the
process has been finalised. It is anticipated that legislation will be
introduced into Parliament this year.
