CRIMINAL
CODE AMENDMENT ACT 2009 — MANDATORY SENTENCING
52. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS to the Minister for Police:
I have a supplementary question. The
minister said in her answer that she had not read the Crime Research Centre
report. I note that the police union in its report states that the author has
recommended that publishing and distributing the research, including a list of
identified risk factors, could reduce officers' chances of being
involved in an assault. Given that was a recommendation of the report that the
minister has not read and given that that is referred to in the police union
report, will the minister table the report?
The SPEAKER : Member for Midland,
this is not a supplementary question. If you want to ask a supplementary
question, can members ask a succinct supplementary question?
Mrs M.H. ROBERTS :
Thank you for your advice, Mr Speaker.
Will the minister table the report
of the Crime Research Centre of the University of Western Australia that was
paid for by the Office of Crime Prevention?

I think the member has answered the question. It is not my
report to table. The report was not commissioned by me. It was not commissioned
by the government. It is not my report to table.
Mrs M.H. Roberts interjected.
The SPEAKER :
Member for Midland!
Mrs L.M. Harvey interjected.
The SPEAKER :
Minister!
