METHAMPHETAMINE — USE
144. Ms L. METTAM to the Minister for Police:
I have a supplementary question.
Given the staggering WA meth figures and regardless of the minister's
spin, is this another example of a government failing to keep us safe?

I find it extraordinary that the
member for Vasse thinks that a seizure of 314.59 kilograms of methylamphetamine
and almost $22 million of cash from serious crime organisations in a six-month
period is somehow spin or a failure on behalf of the police.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Order, please!
Mr P. PAPALIA : They are
doing their job. Leave police operations to people who know what they are
talking about.
