KEVIN SPRATT INCIDENT — TIME LINE OF EVENTS
My question without notice to the Minister for Police of which some notice was given at 10.35 this morning with an extract from the “Timeline of Events—Kevin John Spratt” refers to that time line of events document published by the Commissioner of Police and the Deputy Commissioner of Police at a jointly held press conference, which showed that Mr Spratt had been charged with five offences in relation to his conduct in King William Street, Bayswater on 31 August 2008 and a further four offences for his conduct later that day back at the Perth police watch-house. I ask — (1) (a) In relation to the second yellow box on the first line—attached to the question and marked with the red letter A—detailing the charges for Mr Spratt’s arrest at King William Street, Bayswater on 31 August 2008, how many offences was Kevin John Spratt charged with relating to his conduct in King William Street, Bayswater that day? (b) What were those offences? (c) How was each charged offence dealt with by the court? (d) Who was the arresting officer for each of those offences? (2) (a) Referring to the first yellow — The SPEAKER : Member, I will accept what you have asked of this house, and of this minister in particular I ask that the minister answer those questions at this stage. If you have further questions, I will deliver them as a supplementary. Point of Order Mr E.S. RIPPER : The minister was given notice of the question. I appreciate that it is a long question, but the minister has had notice and does have it in writing in front of him. The SPEAKER : I accept your point of order, Leader of the Opposition. Please continue, member for Mindarie. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr J.R. QUIGLEY : Thank you, Mr Speaker — (2) (a) Referring to the first yellow box on line two—marked with the red letter B—how many offences was Mr Spratt charged with for his alleged conduct on 31 August at the Perth police watch-house?

Mr Speaker, it was indeed a very long question, an extremely long question, and it will receive a very short answer. (1)–(2) I thank the member for some notice of the question; however, the “Timeline of Events—Kevin John Spratt” referred to in the member’s question currently forms part of the material that is being reviewed by the Corruption and Crime Commission’s investigation into any incidents involving members of the Western Australia Police and Mr Kevin Spratt on 30 August 2008, 31 August 2008 and 6 September 2008. As this is the case, I am unable to comment any further on this matter.
