833. Mr P.A. KATSAMBANIS to the Premier:
Today the Australian Bureau of
Statistics released statistics that show the causes of death in our state.
Those statistics revealed that the number of Western Australians who were
killed by assault has doubled over the past 12 months. How much more evidence
does the Premier need before he acknowledges the out-of-control violence in Western
Australia and starts taking action?

The figures around people dying as a
consequence of being murdered, of manslaughter, or of an assault, as the member
put it, move around from year to year. Each and every one of them is a tragedy.
Generally, political parties in this place recognise that and do not seek to
exploit it.
