MINISTERIAL COUNCIL FOR POLICE AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
I have a supplementary question. The priority is interoperability and information sharing—organised, economic and high-tech crime. Why has the minister not put forward priorities similar to those of other states, which include illicit drugs, child protection, alcohol abuse and road safety? Mr T.R. Buswell : They were all captured in the first one. Mr R.F. JOHNSON

AnswerView source ↗
They certainly were. I will hit the last priority first—road safety. A different ministerial council deals with road safety. The MCPEM does not deal with road safety issues. The member should know that it does not even touch road safety issues; it deals with crime and policing, not road safety, which is done through a completely different forum. Mrs M.H. Roberts interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Midland, I would like to give a couple more questions today, but some people in this place are causing a few issues in that respect. Member for Midland, you are one of them at this point, and I formally call you to order for the first time. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I will wind up my answer very quickly. In essence, I want to see more cooperation between the states on organised crime and high-tech crime. This morning the Attorney General introduced legislation on identity theft, which is a huge, big thing. Ms A.J.G. MacTiernan : Is that the technical term? The SPEAKER : Member for Armadale, likewise I call you for the second time. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I think I will conclude my remarks at this point by saying that I am sure that there will be a fantastic press release from the Ministerial Council for Police and Emergency Management tomorrow.
