SEXUAL ASSAULT AGAINST CHILDREN — PERPETRATOR BAIL CONDITIONS
I have a supplementary question. Is the Premier confident that his government did everything possible to ensure that these bail conditions were properly enforced? Mr C.J. BARNETT

AnswerView source ↗

That will be something that will no doubt come up as this case proceeds; and it will. Is the Leader of the Opposition expecting me to give a running commentary on a case before the courts? I am not going to do it.
