DANGEROUS SEXUAL OFFENDER
— LIAM TIMOTHY HUTT
38. Mr P.A. KATSAMBANIS to the Attorney General:
I
have a supplementary question. Based on that answer, can the Attorney General
assure the public of Western Australia and this chamber that if that
high-risk offenders legislation is passed by the other place as currently
drafted, it will apply to the crimes that Liam Timothy Hutt was recently
sentenced for?

When
I discussed this recently with the Director of Public Prosecutions, she said, ''Well,
he won't fit within the Liberals' —
Mr P.A. Katsambanis interjected.
Mr J.R. QUIGLEY : Hang on!
She said, ''He won't fit within the Liberals' post-sentence
supervision order, but it will be one of those offences that will qualify, or
make him eligible, for the high risk offenders further detention orders.''
I cannot give that guarantee at the moment because I do not know what the
opposition is doing in the other place. They might butcher the bill; I do not
know.
Mr P.A. Katsambanis interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Hillarys, I call you to order for the first time. You are having a great
conversation there, but your question is over.
