ATTORNEY GENERAL —
LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
643. Hon MICHAEL MISCHIN to the Leader of the House
representing the Attorney General:
I refer to the following projects
promised by the Attorney General and ask in respect of each about the status of
that project and of any legislation necessary for its establishment: increased
punishment of vegan anti–animal cruelty activists; asbestos diseases
compensation legislation; the justice pipeline planning and assessment model for which $850 000 was budgeted in 2017–18;
the so-called high-risk offenders board; the remaining reforms to the
Coroner's Court; amendments to the Criminal Law (Mentally Impaired
Accused) Act 1996; the Western Australian crime statistics and research office;
and the appointment of a permanent, rather than an acting, Commissioner for
Victims of Crime.

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
The Attorney General continues to
implement the McGowan government's extensive law reform agenda and
attend to a number of matters that were ignored by the honourable member during
his time as Attorney General. The appointment of the Commissioner for Victims
of Crime is a matter for the director general of the Department of Justice.
