TUNG TRAN
220. Mrs M.H. ROBERTS to the Minister for
Police:
I ask a supplementary question. Why
will the minister again today not be accountable to this house and to the
public of Western Australia and tell this house why police dropped the charges?
The case is over. The minister has no excuse not to come clean on it.

AnswerView source ↗
I thought I made it abundantly clear
that I am awaiting a review by police of this particular scenario. It is a most
unusual set of circumstances. A 12-month time line is involved. I understand
that the charges were dropped. There has been a court outcome of sorts, and I am
not going to comment on my opinion with respect to this matter until police
have finalised their review.
Point of Order
Mrs M.H. ROBERTS : I believe the
minister has misled the house by saying that there was a court outcome. Perhaps
she should either retract that or explain what the court outcome was.
The SPEAKER : That answer is
over; there is no point of order.
