KNIFE CRIME —
STOP-AND-SEARCH LAWS
407. Ms L. METTAM to the Attorney General:
I have a supplementary question.
Despite the weasel words of the Attorney General —
Several members interjected.
Ms L. METTAM : —when
will we see the laws introduced?
The SPEAKER : Order, please,
members.
Point of Order
Dr D.J. HONEY : I was sitting
next to the Leader of the Liberal Party and I could not hear the question. I am
sure that Hansard and Parliament could not either.
The SPEAKER : In response to
that point of order, had the Leader of the Liberal Party done as she requested
and just asked a question, I doubt that she would have got those interjections.
The reason she got no intervention from me was that she started off with commentary
that included the words ''weasel words'' et cetera, which
provoked the response. I have little sympathy for the Leader of the Liberal
Party in that circumstance. Member, if you would like to ask a simple direct
question as your supplementary question, you can do so now.

That is a matter for the Minister
for Police. I do not introduce those sorts of laws. The Leader of the Liberal
Party will have to ask the Minister for Police.
