I refer to my question without notice No. 265 of 7 April 2011 to the Attorney General, and ask -
(1) Has the Attorney General directed an examination of the operation of the Children's Court Clinic in Victoria with a view to ascertaining whether it is appropriate for there to be a similar clinic in Western Australia?
(2) Has the Attorney General raised the issue of the establishment of a secure facility for children under 18 years of age, similar to the Frankland Centre, with the Minister for Mental Health?
