MIDLAND LOCK-UP — CLOSED-CIRCUIT TELEVISION SYSTEM
I have a supplementary question. Does this situation not expose both detainees and officers to an unacceptable risk, and will the minister be prepared to accept personal responsibility when the inevitable happens? Mr R.F. JOHNSON

AnswerView source ↗
That is an unbelievable supplementary! Will I take personal responsibility? Did the member for Girrawheen take personal responsibility when she was a minister? Ms M.M. Quirk : Yes. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I do not think she did actually. Ms M.M. Quirk : Yes; all corners. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I do not think she did and she ignored advice when she was a minister. Mr J.N. Hyde interjected The SPEAKER : Member for Perth, it is not your question! Mr J.N. Hyde : He is misleading the house, Mr Speaker. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : The member for Perth should get up and move a motion if he thinks that. Mr Speaker, the member for Girrawheen knows perfectly well that I have given a commitment to look into that matter, and if there are any others, I will find out about those—and I will find out whether there are inaccuracies. But if the member for Girrawheen was really serious, why did she not bring the matter to my attention? She usually brings other matters to my attention. Ms M.M. Quirk : This is the first available opportunity. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I would be very interested to know where the member for Girrawheen got her information from. I know it was not through personal experience. I am sure she was not in the lock-up at Midland herself. Ms M.M. Quirk : I go to the odd lock-up. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I assumed she was not there. I would therefore be very interested to know where she got the information from. I would also be very interested to know whether it is actually accurate or whether it is misleading, because I cannot put a lot of credence on some of the comments the member for Girrawheen makes; that is certainly the case in the press releases she habitually sends out because a lot of them are totally untrue. Ms M.M. Quirk : Because you never respond to them, to tell the truth. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I have to assume initially that everything the member for Girrawheen has said so far is not exactly — Mr J.R. Quigley interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Mindarie! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : He cannot help himself; he really cannot. He is the member for Girrawheen’s mate—the one who cannot help speaking on her shadow portfolio area. I think the headmaster will have to bring him into his study again and have a word with him because he is misbehaving. As I have said, I will look into the matter raised by the member for Girrawheen. I do not know necessarily that what she is saying is accurate and correct. She has some information from somewhere. Whether or not there is some sort of political motive behind the accusations that she is making, I do not know. However, I will find out and I will give her an honest account of the truth and the situation at Midland lock-up.

Ms M.M. Quirk : I go to the odd lock-up. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I assumed she was not there. I would therefore be very interested to know where she got the information from. I would also be very interested to know whether it is actually accurate or whether it is misleading, because I cannot put a lot of credence on some of the comments the member for Girrawheen makes; that is certainly the case in the press releases she habitually sends out because a lot of them are totally untrue. Ms M.M. Quirk : Because you never respond to them, to tell the truth. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I have to assume initially that everything the member for Girrawheen has said so far is not exactly — Mr J.R. Quigley interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Mindarie! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : He cannot help himself; he really cannot. He is the member for Girrawheen’s mate—the one who cannot help speaking on her shadow portfolio area. I think the headmaster will have to bring him into his study again and have a word with him because he is misbehaving. As I have said, I will look into the matter raised by the member for Girrawheen. I do not know necessarily that what she is saying is accurate and correct. She has some information from somewhere. Whether or not there is some sort of political motive behind the accusations that she is making, I do not know. However, I will find out and I will give her an honest account of the truth and the situation at Midland lock-up.

Mr R.F. JOHNSON replied: That is an unbelievable supplementary! Will I take personal responsibility? Did the member for Girrawheen take personal responsibility when she was a minister? Ms M.M. Quirk : Yes. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I do not think she did actually. Ms M.M. Quirk : Yes; all corners. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I do not think she did and she ignored advice when she was a minister. Mr J.N. Hyde interjected The SPEAKER : Member for Perth, it is not your question! Mr J.N. Hyde : He is misleading the house, Mr Speaker. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : The member for Perth should get up and move a motion if he thinks that. Mr Speaker, the member for Girrawheen knows perfectly well that I have given a commitment to look into that matter, and if there are any others, I will find out about those—and I will find out whether there are inaccuracies. But if the member for Girrawheen was really serious, why did she not bring the matter to my attention? She usually brings other matters to my attention. Ms M.M.

Quigley interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Mindarie! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : He cannot help himself; he really cannot. He is the member for Girrawheen’s mate—the one who cannot help speaking on her shadow portfolio area. I think the headmaster will have to bring him into his study again and have a word with him because he is misbehaving. As I have said, I will look into the matter raised by the member for Girrawheen. I do not know necessarily that what she is saying is accurate and correct. She has some information from somewhere. Whether or not there is some sort of political motive behind the accusations that she is making, I do not know. However, I will find out and I will give her an honest account of the truth and the situation at Midland lock-up.
Ms M.M. Quirk : This is the first available opportunity. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I would be very interested to know where the member for Girrawheen got her information from. I know it was not through personal experience. I am sure she was not in the lock-up at Midland herself. Ms M.M. Quirk : I go to the odd lock-up. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I assumed she was not there. I would therefore be very interested to know where she got the information from. I would also be very interested to know whether it is actually accurate or whether it is misleading, because I cannot put a lot of credence on some of the comments the member for Girrawheen makes; that is certainly the case in the press releases she habitually sends out because a lot of them are totally untrue. Ms M.M. Quirk : Because you never respond to them, to tell the truth. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I have to assume initially that everything the member for Girrawheen has said so far is not exactly — Mr J.R.
