SERIOUS
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OFFENDERS — GPS TRACKING — LIBERAL PARTY
POLICY
995. Mr J.R. QUIGLEY to the
Premier:
I refer to the 2013 Liberal Party policy paper headed ''Dealing
with Serious Violent Offenders'' and the promise to introduce GPS
tracking of serious domestic violence offenders. Why has legislation to make
GPS tracking a condition of supervision orders for violent offenders not been
introduced, despite the Attorney General promising in June last year that the
legislation would be ready for introduction in the autumn 2015 parliamentary
session?
Mr
R.H. Cook : Good question.

Yes, it is a good question. That
legislation is on its way and we hope that we can —

The
SPEAKER : Members!
Mr
C.J. BARNETT : Yes, that commitment was made and it has not been met; I
acknowledge that. But, it is complicated legislation and it will be forthcoming
into this Parliament.
