AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for his question and his very strong advocacy for the new tougher antihoon laws that we have put in place. They came into effect on 1 May. On the following weekend eight vehicles were impounded. Mr P.D. Omodei : What, for 48 hours? Mr J.C. KOBELKE : Over that weekend eight vehicles were impounded. Mr P.D. Omodei : You wear it as a badge of honour and you know it. Mr J.C. KOBELKE : I know that the Leader of the Opposition might have an interest - Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : I call to order the Leader of the Opposition and the member for Nedlands. Mr J.C. KOBELKE : The Leader of the Opposition might have an interest in breaking certain laws, but this is the first time he has given us evidence that he actually believes in breaking our antihoon laws. He does have a record of breaking the law. It is very interesting that he has put on the record that he does not believe in our antihoon laws. The member for Mindarie thinks that too. Ms S.E. Walker interjected. The SPEAKER : I call the member for Nedlands to order for the third time. Mr J.C. KOBELKE : The member for Mindarie has expressed to me the real concerns of many people in his electorate who want to make sure that this matter is tackled as effectively as possible. One case drawn to my attention that weekend involved someone who had been speeding and the new provision related to driving 45 kilometres an hour over the speed limit was used to impound the vehicle. I understand that in the past day or so police impounded a vehicle in Kalgoorlie based on evidence provided by the public. The police were not present when this vehicle was being driven in a very dangerous way that clearly fitted in with the hoon laws. The report came to the police and they interviewed the person who was reported and, on the basis of that report, the vehicle was confiscated. The tougher laws we put in place are working. The Liberals opposite took that provision out of our hoon laws when we brought it in two years ago. Two years ago we proposed antihoon laws - Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : I am sure that moment of madness is over. Mr J.C. KOBELKE : The new tough antihoon laws simply put back in place that which we proposed in 2004 and which the Liberal opposition in the other place removed from the government’s legislation. We now have those laws in place. They are being used to try to get these hoons off the roads, whereas the Liberals allowed two years to pass because they opposed that proposal.

KOBELKE : The Leader of the Opposition might have an interest in breaking certain laws, but this is the first time he has given us evidence that he actually believes in breaking our antihoon laws. He does have a record of breaking the law. It is very interesting that he has put on the record that he does not believe in our antihoon laws. The member for Mindarie thinks that too. Ms S.E. Walker interjected. The SPEAKER : I call the member for Nedlands to order for the third time. Mr J.C. KOBELKE : The member for Mindarie has expressed to me the real concerns of many people in his electorate who want to make sure that this matter is tackled as effectively as possible. One case drawn to my attention that weekend involved someone who had been speeding and the new provision related to driving 45 kilometres an hour over the speed limit was used to impound the vehicle. I understand that in the past day or so police impounded a vehicle in Kalgoorlie based on evidence provided by the public. The police were not present when this vehicle was being driven in a very dangerous way that clearly fitted in with the hoon laws. The report came to the police and they interviewed the person who was reported and, on the basis of that report, the vehicle was confiscated. The tougher laws we put in place are working. The Liberals opposite took that provision out of our hoon laws when we brought it in two years ago. Two years ago we proposed antihoon laws - Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : I am sure that moment of madness is over. Mr J.C. KOBELKE : The new tough antihoon laws simply put back in place that which we proposed in 2004 and which the Liberal opposition in the other place removed from the government’s legislation. We now have those laws in place. They are being used to try to get these hoons off the roads, whereas the Liberals allowed two years to pass because they opposed that proposal.
Mr J.C. KOBELKE : Over that weekend eight vehicles were impounded. Mr P.D. Omodei : You wear it as a badge of honour and you know it. Mr J.C. KOBELKE : I know that the Leader of the Opposition might have an interest - Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : I call to order the Leader of the Opposition and the member for Nedlands.
