124. Ms Libby Mettam to
the Minister for Police:
I have a
supplementary question. Does the minister commit to providing a statement to
Parliament explaining the circumstances of this situation, where the offender
is still on bail—
The Speaker: You have asked the question, member.
Ms Libby Mettam: —and the victim—
The Speaker: Member!
Ms Libby Mettam: —is
overseas?
The Speaker: Member for Vasse, I am calling you again
because you asked the question and whilst I was getting you to sit down, you
continued to speak when you should not have. That is the third time, member for
Vasse.
Mr Kevin Michel: Mr Speaker—
The Speaker: Sorry—minister?

Oh, the member is
getting the supplementary after all. Member, I will be guided in what is
appropriate for me to respond to, given this is a matter before the courts.
