Violence against police
41. Ms Sandra Brewer to the Minister for Police :
I refer to the
shocking incident of the bashing of a police officer outside Optus Stadium and
the Commissioner of Police subsequently writing to the Director of Public
Prosecutions to consider whether there are avenues to appeal the court's
decision to give no punishment to the offender.
(1) Has the Commissioner of Police received a
response from the Director of Public Prosecutions?
(2) If yes, what was the response?

The member might
want to redirect that question and find out who the correct minister is to ask
her questions of in future.
Ms Sandra Brewer: You're a great constituent.
Thank you, minister.
The Speaker: That concludes question time.
