Those police officers are out there. That is why the number of burglaries, car thefts and general offences is lower, and the clean-up rate is higher. That is because there are more police out there doing the job and protecting the citizens of Western Australia. They are certainly doing much better than when the mob opposite were in government. The SPEAKER : Order! I call the member for Roe to order for the first time.
