TASER USE — KEVIN SPRATT INCIDENT
I have a supplementary question. The minister said in his answer that he was first informed of this incident by the Commissioner of Police in May this year—2010. At that time — Mr R.F. Johnson : What is your question? It is supposed to be a supplementary. Mr J.R. QUIGLEY : I will ask the minister a supplementary question. At the time the Commissioner of Police informed the minister in May 2010, did the Commissioner of Police inform the minister that the prisoner had been tasered 13 times, and did he give the minister any reason for not showing the minister the video footage? Mr R.F. JOHNSON

I do not remember the Commissioner of Police telling me that the prisoner had been tasered 13 times. I certainly do not recall that at all. Mr F.M. Logan : What did he say to you? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I am going from memory now, but I certainly do recall him talking about a serious incident at the Perth watch-house that had been covered by internal police investigations and was now the matter of a CCC inquiry. That is what I was told in May this year.
