implement its election promise to monitor repeat domestic violence offenders
with GPS tracking?

This is not an issue that has been
raised with me specifically in the last two or three months. I will seek
information on it, but the government certainly takes the issue of domestic
violence very seriously.

M.H. Roberts interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Member for Midland!
Mr
J.H.D. DAY : This was a significant issue when I was Minister for Police in
a full-time role, going back quite some years. It still is and I have no doubt
that WA Police is putting a major effort into it. In fact, I know from
anecdotal information and conversations that this is an issue that WA Police
not only takes seriously, but also spends a lot of time responding to. I will
seek further information about the specifics of the issue that the member
raised.
