QuestionView source ↗
Yesterday during question time I was surprised when the member for Kingsley asked whether the minister was aware that the Kenwick police station had its hours downgraded and the minister indicated that she was not aware of that and, in fact, believed that the member was wrong. Can the minister clarify this matter? Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, members! Mrs M.H. ROBERTS
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the excellent member for Southern River for the question - Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! I call the member for Kalgoorlie to order for the first time. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: I thank the member for Southern River for the question and for his genuine interest in policing and law and order matters. I, too, would like to welcome the member for Kalgoorlie back into the Chamber. While he has been away, the member for Kingsley has gotten quite a few things wrong - more than the member for Kalgoorlie usually gets wrong. Yesterday she made a lot of assertions about the opening hours of police stations. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! I call to order the members for Kalgoorlie and Nedlands. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: Yesterday the member for Kingsley made assertions about the Kenwick police station in this place. Ms S.E. Walker interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! I call the member for Nedlands to order for the second time. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: Yes, I was very surprised and I told her that I thought she had her facts wrong. However, I like to check my facts before I correct someone. How many times did the member assert in question time alone that the Kenwick police station’s hours had been downgraded? She did that not once, but twice. Twice she told the House yesterday that the Kenwick police station’s hours had been reduced and it is no longer open 24 hours a day, as it was when she was in government. I have to ask the House: how wrong can a person be? I will tell members. There is no Kenwick police station! Several members interjected. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: There is not now, and nor has there ever been, a police station in Kenwick. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: How can we rely on a single thing members opposite say?

Yesterday she made a lot of assertions about the opening hours of police stations. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! I call to order the members for Kalgoorlie and Nedlands. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: Yesterday the member for Kingsley made assertions about the Kenwick police station in this place. Ms S.E. Walker interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! I call the member for Nedlands to order for the second time. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: Yes, I was very surprised and I told her that I thought she had her facts wrong. However, I like to check my facts before I correct someone. How many times did the member assert in question time alone that the Kenwick police station’s hours had been downgraded? She did that not once, but twice. Twice she told the House yesterday that the Kenwick police station’s hours had been reduced and it is no longer open 24 hours a day, as it was when she was in government. I have to ask the House: how wrong can a person be? I will tell members. There is no Kenwick police station! Several members interjected. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: There is not now, and nor has there ever been, a police station in Kenwick. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! Mrs M.H. ROBERTS: How can we rely on a single thing members opposite say?
