POLICE — PURSUIT CARS
I ask a supplementary question. Will the minister consider a settlement payment for the owner of this Lamborghini, given that this vehicle was seized under flawed laws and there is a complaint that the Lamborghini’s computer system has been damaged? Mr R.F. JOHNSON

AnswerView source ↗

This is like a dorothy dixer, this one! I love this supplementary! The flawed laws were the member’s laws! The member brought them in in 2004. It took the experience of, first of all, the Ferrari, and then the Lamborghini, and then the souped-up Mini Cooper. They were under the member’s flawed laws. I took action — Mr J.N. Hyde : You fiddled with it and you stuffed it up! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : What a stupid comment! Mr J.N. Hyde : You did! Your amendments stuffed it up! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : The member should not be so stupid! The member does not know what he is talking about. I moved amendments to the hoon legislation — Ms M.M. Quirk : That was the second bill, not the first bill. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : They still applied to the member’s flawed laws. I moved amendments to the hoon legislation to try to ensure that, in future, innocent people who took their vehicle to a car mechanic or a car repairer would not be disadvantaged if that car mechanic or that car repairer went out with that vehicle and committed a hoon offence. It does not matter whether it is a hoon offence or reckless driving or dangerous driving, or whatever, if a person is driving at 130 kilometres an hour in a 90-kilometre an hour zone, that person is driving dangerously in my view and I would think in most reasonable people’s view. So, I addressed those flawed laws of the member for Girrawheen. The member for Girrawheen is trying to shift the blame onto me. The member needs to take the blame for that, because if I had not corrected those flawed laws — Ms M.M. Quirk : Eventually! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Eventually, she says. So the member acknowledges that I did amend her flawed laws. Thank you very much, member for Girrawheen! I appreciate the member’s acknowledgment that I amended her flawed laws! Ms M.M. Quirk interjected. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : B-b-b-b-b! What is the member going to say? B-b-b-b-b! Mr E.S. Ripper : I was going to say it was a glorious achievement! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : It was a glorious achievement that I could amend the Labor Party’s flawed laws. The Labor Party hates to take responsibility for making flawed laws. Ms M.M. Quirk interjected. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : The member for Girrawheen did make them. Absolutely. We amended them to make it fair for those innocent people whose vehicles are taken. We wanted to ensure that the innocent party would not lose his vehicle in that situation, but the mechanic or the person driving would have to substitute his own vehicle should he have one, to ensure fairness over all. Ms M.M. Quirk : Compensation? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Compensation? Ms M.M. Quirk : Yes. That was the question. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : To whom? Ms M.M. Quirk : The owner of the Lamborghini. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I think the owner of the Lamborghini should be talking to the offender, in this case, who abused the trust and faith the owner had in him when the offender drove the vehicle at 130 kilometres an hour in a 90-kilometre zone, which I think was a total disregard for the care and responsibility of a customer’s car. I think the owner of the Lamborghini should talk to the offender about creating — Ms M.M. Quirk : He was not an offender; he was acquitted. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : He admitted speeding at 130 kilometres an hour in a 90-kilometre-an-hour zone. I am disappointed in the outcome of that. Ms M.M. Quirk interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Girrawheen! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : If the member is trying to make him out to be an innocent soul, driving at 130 kilometres an hour in a 90-kilometre zone, I am sorry, it shows her lack of commitment to road safety.
