CARNARVON
80. Dr D.J. HONEY to the Minister for Police:
I have a supplementary question. Who
should we believe about crime—the community that experiences and witnesses
the crime or the minister's colleague's questionable
assertions?

I do not know what the member is
trying to say. It is very difficult to discern.
Ms R. Saffioti : It's
a cryptic crossword.
Mr P. PAPALIA : Yes, it is
cryptic.
The SPEAKER : The call has
been given to the Minister for Police to respond.
Mr P. PAPALIA : That is right.

Morning Herald .
I
have no idea what the member is getting at. I do know that the police are doing
a wonderful job in Carnarvon, as are other agencies trying their hardest. It is
really unfair that public servants doing a tough job are consistently
undermined by the Liberal Party of Western
Australia and the Nationals WA, too, in the region. I do know that there have
been some requests from police in Carnarvon specifically around destocking of
glass bottles, which, despite claims in the paper, has not been done, and also
liquor restrictions. They viewed that as something that would be valuable and
assist greatly in tackling some of the challenges they confront. I expect they
were heard by a lot of people.
