BANKSIA HILL DETENTION
CENTRE — PREMIER'S MEETING —PROFESSOR FIONA STANLEY 'S COMMENTS
818. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
Will the Premier reach out to Professor Fiona Stanley to have a discussion
around these issues further to the summit?

AnswerView source ↗

That
is not my plan. I heard what Professor Stanley said the other day. She was very
much of the view that there was not a requirement for another inquiry or
another review, and —
Ms M.J. Davies : That's
not what she said.
Mr M. McGOWAN : That is
exactly what she said.
Ms M.J. Davies : That's
not what she said.
Mr M. McGOWAN : That is exactly
what she said at the meeting.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Order, please!
Mr M. McGOWAN : Sadly, she has
said something totally contrary to what the Minister for Corrective Services said. He said he wanted to employ more Aboriginal
people in the youth custodial sector. Professor Stanley obviously misheard and said something totally contrary to that publicly.
