I refer to an article in the
West Australian
entitled “25 years on and still locked up” on 11 May 2011 and I ask:
(a) has Mr Gregory Yates undergone a comprehensive psychiatric assessment;
(i) if so, has Mr Yates required any off site psychiatric treatment during his incarceration; and
(ii) if yes to (a), did this psychiatric assessment indicate that Mr Yates still poses a threat to the community;
(b) is the Parole Board undertaking regular assessments of his incarceration;
(c) has Mr Yates applied for parole and if so, when and how many times;
(d) if Mr Yates has had his parole rejected, what were the reasons for that rejection; and
(e) is he likely to be granted parole in the future, and if so, when?
