COMMUNITY SAFETY LEGISLATION
702. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS to the
Premier:
Given the dearth of legislation before this house in the last
couple of weeks, why has the government not presented any of the community
safety legislation promised at the election? In particular —
(1) Why has
the government not introduced legislation to remove vehicles from hoons on a
second strike, for offences that occur in schools zones or suburban streets?
(2) Why has
the government not introduced legislation to confiscate unlicensed trail bikes
when they are driven on our roads?
(3) Why has
the government not introduced the new graffiti enforcement act, and why are we
still waiting for new home burglary laws?

(1)–(3)
At the last election in March of this year, the Liberal–National
government had a strong program on law and order issues and a strong commitment
to legislation in that area. We are six months into a four-year term. We will
honour our commitments and the legislation we promised will be introduced.
People can probably expect to see some of that before the end of this year.
