PERTH —
HOMELESSNESS, VIOLENCE AND DRUG ABUSE
1033. Mr A. KRSTICEVIC to the Premier:
I
have a supplementary question. Will the Premier immediately commit to emergency
resourcing for the Tranby Centre , associated wraparound services, and
the police, to properly manage the out-of-control violence and homelessness
crisis in our city, or does he just not care?
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Members!

The member for Carine is an
embarrassment to the Liberal Party and to the Parliament.
Mr A. Krsticevic interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Carine, you have had your go.
Mr
M. McGOWAN : As I said to the
member in my answer, additional resources were provided to the Tranby Centre— additional
resources. The member did not listen, and he is incapable of comprehending what
I said.
Mr A. Krsticevic interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Carine, I call you to order for the second time.
Mr M. McGOWAN : Additional
resources were provided. Additional hours of opening are therefore available.
That is resulting in more people attending at different hours. Therefore, we
could argue it has resulted in a social outcome that is undesirable.
UnitingCare West, which runs Tranby house, has been liaising with the WA Police
Force to increase the police attendance. I am advised that is what is
occurring. Additional CCTV cameras are being installed, as I advised the member
in answer to his first question, before he asked his silly supplementary.
I also note this is the MP who said
we should set aside Princess Margaret Hospital and put in a bunch of homeless
people, over the road from Perth Modern, and over the road from the new Bob
Hawke College. Is that still the policy of Liberal Party members? Is that still
their policy? They are mute, understandably so—better to be mute than
embarrassed. What has occurred is that we have better funded and better supported
homelessness facilities around the state, and that has resulted in some adverse
consequences. But we are working through those issues.
