I thank the member for some notice of this question. I note that he is trying to make some political point, which is most unlike him. I thought that he would have given up by now. The Minister for Police and Emergency Services provides the following response - The Western Australia Police Service advises no. The Commissioner of Police has been provided with legal advice and on the evidence presently available there is not a reasonable prospect of conviction.
