As a supplementary question, I ask the minister for a third time: how many times was one of the juveniles picked up at his father’s home? Mrs M.H. ROBERTS
AnswerView source ↗
I do not have that information. I have not been given a specific number of times. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, members! Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: I have been open with the information given to me. It was I who said this morning - and the advice was not a specific number of times - that on a “number of occasions” - Mr C.J. Barnett: How many? We asked the question: how many? Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, members! Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: People sitting opposite should keep in mind that - Mr C.J. Barnett: That. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: - that - Mr C.J. Barnett: That. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: The Leader of the Opposition really is very rude. Mr C.J. Barnett: I want to know the answer to the question. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: Perhaps the Leader of the Opposition could stop mocking me by repeating words after I say them and listen to the answer. If the Leader of the Opposition has another question, he can then ask it. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! Mr C.J. Barnett: We have asked the question three times. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: I will take the interjection. What does the Leader of the Opposition want to know? Mr C.J. Barnett: The answer to the question - how many times was he picked up. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: The answer is that the Department of Justice has not advised me of a specific number of times. As I said in the House this morning, up-front and of my own volition, not prompted by members opposite, I understand that the offender was picked up by the supervising officers at his father’s house on a number of occasions. It was their firm belief - as far as I am aware, it remains their firm belief - that the offender was not living there, but was having contact with his father, as he was entitled to do under the terms of his release.

As I said in the House this morning, up-front and of my own volition, not prompted by members opposite, I understand that the offender was picked up by the supervising officers at his father’s house on a number of occasions. It was their firm belief - as far as I am aware, it remains their firm belief - that the offender was not living there, but was having contact with his father, as he was entitled to do under the terms of his release.
The SPEAKER: Order, members! Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: I have been open with the information given to me. It was I who said this morning - and the advice was not a specific number of times - that on a “number of occasions” - Mr C.J. Barnett: How many? We asked the question: how many? Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, members! Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: People sitting opposite should keep in mind that - Mr C.J. Barnett: That. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: - that - Mr C.J. Barnett: That. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: The Leader of the Opposition really is very rude. Mr C.J. Barnett: I want to know the answer to the question. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: Perhaps the Leader of the Opposition could stop mocking me by repeating words after I say them and listen to the answer. If the Leader of the Opposition has another question, he can then ask it. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! Mr C.J. Barnett: We have asked the question three times. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: I will take the interjection. What does the Leader of the Opposition want to know? Mr C.J. Barnett: The answer to the question - how many times was he picked up. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: The answer is that the Department of Justice has not advised me of a specific number of times.
