parliamentary inspector of the Corruption and Crime Commission — excessive force by police report
I refer to the Parliamentary Inspector of the Corruption and Crime Commission’s report tabled today regarding the use of excessive force by WA Police and the two separate contemporary incidents that he refers to. (1) Why did the Minister for Police not address, or even respond to, the issues raised in the letter that the first complainant, Ms Lynne Annandale, wrote to him late October 2009? (2) Has the minister seen the CCTV footage that the police produced concerning the tasering of two Fremantle residents, referred to by the parliamentary inspector, that has mysteriously had erased four sections that recorded the alleged kicking and tasering of two people by police; and will the minister table the CCTV footage? Mr R.F. JOHNSON

(1)–(2) The member for Girrawheen wants me to table some CCTV footage! Ms M.M. Quirk : Have you seen it? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Does she think that I have in my possession, in any way, CCTV footage of that incident? What a stupid question! Ms M.M. Quirk : Well, give us a stupid answer! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I cannot believe it. The member is all over the place today. Is the member referring to the report tabled today by the Parliamentary Inspector of the Corruption and Crime Commission? Ms M.M. Quirk : Yes. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I have not had a chance to read that yet. Once I — Mr E.S. Ripper : Why didn’t you respond to the letter? The SPEAKER : Leader of the Opposition! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I do not believe anything that the member for Girrawheen says. Mr E.S. Ripper : You don’t believe what the complainant says! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I will have to check my records in the ministerial office to see, firstly, whether I had a letter and, secondly, whether I responded to it. I cannot tell members today whether that is or is not the case. Mr E.S. Ripper : It’s a pretty serious issue. Don’t you remember? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : There are many, many serious issues, my friend, in Police and Emergency Services. Mr E.S. Ripper : And you’re not dealing with any of them! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : No, no! They are very difficult portfolios, seven days a week, fifty-two weeks of the year—I assure members. I will find out that information for the member for Girrawheen. Certainly — Mr E.S. Ripper : You were written to and you did nothing. The SPEAKER : Leader of the Opposition! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Just be quiet. He is getting all his facts wrong, today! Mr C.J. Barnett : How many questions do we have here? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Obviously, there are many questions. Quite frankly, I have told members what I will do. I will look into it and if there is information that I can give to members, I will certainly give it to them.

(1) Why did the Minister for Police not address, or even respond to, the issues raised in the letter that the first complainant, Ms Lynne Annandale, wrote to him late October 2009? (2) Has the minister seen the CCTV footage that the police produced concerning the tasering of two Fremantle residents, referred to by the parliamentary inspector, that has mysteriously had erased four sections that recorded the alleged kicking and tasering of two people by police; and will the minister table the CCTV footage? Mr R.F. JOHNSON replied: (1)–(2) The member for Girrawheen wants me to table some CCTV footage! Ms M.M. Quirk : Have you seen it? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Does she think that I have in my possession, in any way, CCTV footage of that incident? What a stupid question! Ms M.M. Quirk : Well, give us a stupid answer! Mr R.F.

I cannot tell members today whether that is or is not the case. Mr E.S. Ripper : It’s a pretty serious issue. Don’t you remember? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : There are many, many serious issues, my friend, in Police and Emergency Services. Mr E.S. Ripper : And you’re not dealing with any of them! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : No, no!
