AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for the question. I just assure the house that planning for the security arrangements surrounding the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting 2011 is well advanced for what is the largest security operation in the history of Western Australia Police. It will be the largest gathering, as I have said, for WA Police. Deputy Commissioner Chris Dawson has been tasked with overseeing Operation Demille. A small group of team members are dealing with planning and logistics, including organising flights and accommodation for about 700 officers from other Australian police jurisdictions and New Zealand, and transport and accommodation for 300 officers from regional Western Australia. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Girrawheen, I formally call you to order for the first time today. I instruct members very simply that if there is something they want to ask, get to your feet and seek the call, and I will give you the call and then you can ask the question. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : We know they do not support CHOGM. There will be rostering of approximately 30 000 shifts, as I said. The logistics include transport and catering for training and exercises held across WA; catering arrangements for thousands of officers based in a number of temporary work locations across the Perth central business district, covering 24/7 shifts; fleet management, including the extension of existing fleet vehicle leases; the forward ordering of new vehicles and temporary hire arrangements; planning for the delivery of two loan helicopters—one from Victoria and one from New South Wales; establishing and maintaining command posts at key CHOGM 2011 venues and police staging areas; and security accreditation processes for police personnel and support staff. I would like to pay a tribute to Deputy Commissioner Chris Dawson because he has done a fantastic job in overseeing and organising all of that. Obviously, members opposite are not all that interested, and I ask members: what is the most pressing issue surrounding CHOGM for the opposition — Ms M.M. Quirk : I asked you a question about this two weeks ago. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : — and, in particular, for the member for Girrawheen? Is it the security? No! Ms M.M. Quirk : I’m still waiting for the answer! I asked about suburban police stations, and you didn’t know! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Is it the resourcing? No. Is it the food? Yes. It is the food! Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Members! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : That is right. The member for Girrawheen has demanded to know what the troops will be eating over the 10-day CHOGM period. Ms M.M. Quirk : I am demanding to know why it costs $750 000! The SPEAKER : Member for Girrawheen! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : She spent $30, and wasted hours of police time, on a freedom of information request demanding a copy—this is important—of menus for breakfasts, lunch and dinner! That is very important to the member for Girrawheen! Ms M.M. Quirk : It is when it costs 750 grand! The SPEAKER : Member for Girrawheen, I have given you some leniency because the Minister for Police has actually referred to you. I am not going to give leniency to other people in this place, though. I would like to get through a few more questions; we managed to do that yesterday. It may have gone unnoticed by some people that we did actually get through more questions yesterday than we have for quite a while. I instruct members on both sides of this place: members to my left, interjections are not going to help; members to my right, long answers to questions are not going to help. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : This is the kind of information that police had to waste their time to provide to the member for Girrawheen. Let me just say, on 27 October the breakfast options, member for Girrawheen, are muesli and cereal; fruit juice; croissant, muffin; fruit; and tea or coffee. Several members interjected. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Does that satisfy the member’s hunger for this, or does she want to know that on 28 October — Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Members! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : — the three package lunch options consist of fruit salad, flatbread wraps, rolls or sandwiches, and soup? Let us go to the buffet options for 31 October. Let us see; there is soup, meatballs, pasta, salad and a tart. Is the member not into tarts? Okay, then—let us go to dinner on 30 October. Options include chicken, risotto, pasta, silverside and salad. What does the member want the troops to do? Does she want them to go around and find a hamburger stand somewhere in Perth? We are laying on food for all those officers—of course we are! I want to point out that this is a clear abuse of the freedom of information process and of the time wasted by our police officers because of the member for Girrawheen and her obsession with food.

I am not going to give leniency to other people in this place, though. I would like to get through a few more questions; we managed to do that yesterday. It may have gone unnoticed by some people that we did actually get through more questions yesterday than we have for quite a while. I instruct members on both sides of this place: members to my left, interjections are not going to help; members to my right, long answers to questions are not going to help. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : This is the kind of information that police had to waste their time to provide to the member for Girrawheen. Let me just say, on 27 October the breakfast options, member for Girrawheen, are muesli and cereal; fruit juice; croissant, muffin; fruit; and tea or coffee. Several members interjected. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Does that satisfy the member’s hunger for this, or does she want to know that on 28 October — Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Members! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : — the three package lunch options consist of fruit salad, flatbread wraps, rolls or sandwiches, and soup? Let us go to the buffet options for 31 October. Let us see; there is soup, meatballs, pasta, salad and a tart. Is the member not into tarts? Okay, then—let us go to dinner on 30 October. Options include chicken, risotto, pasta, silverside and salad. What does the member want the troops to do? Does she want them to go around and find a hamburger stand somewhere in Perth? We are laying on food for all those officers—of course we are! I want to point out that this is a clear abuse of the freedom of information process and of the time wasted by our police officers because of the member for Girrawheen and her obsession with food.
Obviously, members opposite are not all that interested, and I ask members: what is the most pressing issue surrounding CHOGM for the opposition — Ms M.M. Quirk : I asked you a question about this two weeks ago. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : — and, in particular, for the member for Girrawheen? Is it the security? No! Ms M.M. Quirk : I’m still waiting for the answer! I asked about suburban police stations, and you didn’t know! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Is it the resourcing? No. Is it the food? Yes. It is the food! Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Members! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : That is right. The member for Girrawheen has demanded to know what the troops will be eating over the 10-day CHOGM period. Ms M.M. Quirk : I am demanding to know why it costs $750 000! The SPEAKER : Member for Girrawheen! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : She spent $30, and wasted hours of police time, on a freedom of information request demanding a copy—this is important—of menus for breakfasts, lunch and dinner! That is very important to the member for Girrawheen! Ms M.M. Quirk : It is when it costs 750 grand!

I want to point out that this is a clear abuse of the freedom of information process and of the time wasted by our police officers because of the member for Girrawheen and her obsession with food.
Mr R.F. JOHNSON : This is the kind of information that police had to waste their time to provide to the member for Girrawheen. Let me just say, on 27 October the breakfast options, member for Girrawheen, are muesli and cereal; fruit juice; croissant, muffin; fruit; and tea or coffee. Several members interjected. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Does that satisfy the member’s hunger for this, or does she want to know that on 28 October — Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Members! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : — the three package lunch options consist of fruit salad, flatbread wraps, rolls or sandwiches, and soup? Let us go to the buffet options for 31 October. Let us see; there is soup, meatballs, pasta, salad and a tart. Is the member not into tarts? Okay, then—let us go to dinner on 30 October. Options include chicken, risotto, pasta, silverside and salad. What does the member want the troops to do? Does she want them to go around and find a hamburger stand somewhere in Perth?

Mr R.F. JOHNSON replied: I thank the member for the question. I just assure the house that planning for the security arrangements surrounding the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting 2011 is well advanced for what is the largest security operation in the history of Western Australia Police. It will be the largest gathering, as I have said, for WA Police. Deputy Commissioner Chris Dawson has been tasked with overseeing Operation Demille. A small group of team members are dealing with planning and logistics, including organising flights and accommodation for about 700 officers from other Australian police jurisdictions and New Zealand, and transport and accommodation for 300 officers from regional Western Australia. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Girrawheen, I formally call you to order for the first time today. I instruct members very simply that if there is something they want to ask, get to your feet and seek the call, and I will give you the call and then you can ask the question. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : We know they do not support CHOGM. There will be rostering of approximately 30 000 shifts, as I said. The logistics include transport and catering for training and exercises held across WA; catering arrangements for thousands of officers based in a number of temporary work locations across the Perth central business district, covering 24/7 shifts; fleet management, including the extension of existing fleet vehicle leases; the forward ordering of new vehicles and temporary hire arrangements; planning for the delivery of two loan helicopters—one from Victoria and one from New South Wales; establishing and maintaining command posts at key CHOGM 2011 venues and police staging areas; and security accreditation processes for police personnel and support staff. I would like to pay a tribute to Deputy Commissioner Chris Dawson because he has done a fantastic job in overseeing and organising all of that. Obviously, members opposite are not all that interested, and I ask members: what is the most pressing issue surrounding CHOGM for the opposition — Ms M.M. Quirk : I asked you a question about this two weeks ago. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : — and, in particular, for the member for Girrawheen? Is it the security? No! Ms M.M. Quirk : I’m still waiting for the answer! I asked about suburban police stations, and you didn’t know! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Is it the resourcing? No. Is it the food? Yes. It is the food! Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Members! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : That is right. The member for Girrawheen has demanded to know what the troops will be eating over the 10-day CHOGM period. Ms M.M. Quirk : I am demanding to know why it costs $750 000! The SPEAKER : Member for Girrawheen! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : She spent $30, and wasted hours of police time, on a freedom of information request demanding a copy—this is important—of menus for breakfasts, lunch and dinner! That is very important to the member for Girrawheen! Ms M.M. Quirk : It is when it costs 750 grand! The SPEAKER : Member for Girrawheen, I have given you some leniency because the Minister for Police has actually referred to you. I am not going to give leniency to other people in this place, though. I would like to get through a few more questions; we managed to do that yesterday. It may have gone unnoticed by some people that we did actually get through more questions yesterday than we have for quite a while. I instruct members on both sides of this place: members to my left, interjections are not going to help; members to my right, long answers to questions are not going to help. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : This is the kind of information that police had to waste their time to provide to the member for Girrawheen.

JOHNSON : She spent $30, and wasted hours of police time, on a freedom of information request demanding a copy—this is important—of menus for breakfasts, lunch and dinner! That is very important to the member for Girrawheen! Ms M.M. Quirk : It is when it costs 750 grand! The SPEAKER : Member for Girrawheen, I have given you some leniency because the Minister for Police has actually referred to you. I am not going to give leniency to other people in this place, though. I would like to get through a few more questions; we managed to do that yesterday. It may have gone unnoticed by some people that we did actually get through more questions yesterday than we have for quite a while. I instruct members on both sides of this place: members to my left, interjections are not going to help; members to my right, long answers to questions are not going to help. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : This is the kind of information that police had to waste their time to provide to the member for Girrawheen. Let me just say, on 27 October the breakfast options, member for Girrawheen, are muesli and cereal; fruit juice; croissant, muffin; fruit; and tea or coffee. Several members interjected. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Does that satisfy the member’s hunger for this, or does she want to know that on 28 October — Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Members! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : — the three package lunch options consist of fruit salad, flatbread wraps, rolls or sandwiches, and soup? Let us go to the buffet options for 31 October. Let us see; there is soup, meatballs, pasta, salad and a tart. Is the member not into tarts? Okay, then—let us go to dinner on 30 October. Options include chicken, risotto, pasta, silverside and salad. What does the member want the troops to do? Does she want them to go around and find a hamburger stand somewhere in Perth? We are laying on food for all those officers—of course we are! I want to point out that this is a clear abuse of the freedom of information process and of the time wasted by our police officers because of the member for Girrawheen and her obsession with food.
Obviously, members opposite are not all that interested, and I ask members: what is the most pressing issue surrounding CHOGM for the opposition — Ms M.M. Quirk : I asked you a question about this two weeks ago. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : — and, in particular, for the member for Girrawheen? Is it the security? No! Ms M.M. Quirk : I’m still waiting for the answer! I asked about suburban police stations, and you didn’t know! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Is it the resourcing? No. Is it the food? Yes. It is the food!

JOHNSON : — the three package lunch options consist of fruit salad, flatbread wraps, rolls or sandwiches, and soup? Let us go to the buffet options for 31 October. Let us see; there is soup, meatballs, pasta, salad and a tart. Is the member not into tarts? Okay, then—let us go to dinner on 30 October. Options include chicken, risotto, pasta, silverside and salad. What does the member want the troops to do? Does she want them to go around and find a hamburger stand somewhere in Perth? We are laying on food for all those officers—of course we are! I want to point out that this is a clear abuse of the freedom of information process and of the time wasted by our police officers because of the member for Girrawheen and her obsession with food.
