AnswerView source ↗
All I have is a copy of the CCTV footage that everyone in Western Australia has seen by now. Mr E.S. Ripper : There is a second video. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : There are allegations by the member for Mindarie, and I have heard some outrageous allegations by the member, I have to tell members, and, quite frankly, the only second video that I am aware of is the one made by the Department of Corrective Services when its officers had to extract Mr Spratt from the cell. Mr M.P. Whitely : You have not even looked at it. The SPEAKER : Member for Bassendean! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I have not seen the CCTV footage of the extraction from the cell. Mr M.P. Whitely : Have you asked for it? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Why does the member not listen? This little angel who lives in the member’s electorate, I can tell the member, has attacked police violently many times. [Interruption.] The SPEAKER : I do not know whose mobile phone rang, but members know the ruling in this place about mobile phones. While I am on my feet, the only drink that can be consumed in here is water. Some members know what I am talking about. Members can drink only water in this place. I will let the minister return to his answer. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I would be delighted to return to my answer because I think the question is very important and my answer to this chamber is equally important. As I said, I have not sighted the second video recording that we are talking about, as far as I am aware — Mr M. McGowan : Will you release it? That is the question. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I do not have it to release. It is being held. That video recording, as I understand, was made by the Department of Corrective Services’ emergency group that it sends in when very violent and difficult offenders must be extracted from a cell. I do not have either possession of or access to that footage. The Attorney General might. Mr B.S. Wyatt : Have you asked to see it? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : No, I have not asked to see it. Mr M.P. Whitely : You are an absolute embarrassment to this state. The SPEAKER : Take a seat, minister. I formally call the member for Bassendean to order for the first time. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : As part of my answer to the supplementary question, I would like to ask the member for Mindarie: did Mr Spratt approach the member or did the member approach him? I take it by his silence that, in fact, the member approached Mr Spratt and that it was not the other way around. Can I say, that the most — Mr E.S. Ripper : Are you criticising him for doing that and for standing up for a citizen? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : He is a media tart; that is all he is. All he is interested in is getting his face on the television. Point of Order Mr B.S. WYATT : The Minister for Police was given some notice of a series of questions; it was not about his posing questions to the shadow minister. The SPEAKER : What is your point of order? Mr B.S. WYATT : The point of order is relevance. I ask you, Mr Speaker, to ask the minister to come back to the very specific questions that were put to him. It was a very specific question. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I have answered the questions. The problem with the opposition is that it does not like the answers, but they are truthful answers. I do not have access to it. Mr M.P. Whitely : We don’t like you because you are lazy, useless and stupid. You are a stupid man. The SPEAKER : I formally call the member for Bassendean to order for the second time. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : If I could have access to it, I would be very interested to see it. Mr B.S. Wyatt : Why haven’t you asked to see it? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Because the video footage is the property of the Attorney General. The opposition is asking the wrong minister questions about the video of the extraction of Mr Spratt by Corrective Services officers. That was done by the emergency extraction group of the Department of Corrective Services. That department did it and it has the video footage. I have not seen it. The first time I saw the video footage of the Taser attack was on the Saturday after I returned from leave. Mr P. Papalia : How much do you get paid? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Why does the member not stop being so stupid? The Leader of the Opposition needs to pull some of his members into line. They are behaving like schoolchildren. Mr B.S. Wyatt : Sit down. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I intend to.

I do not have access to it. Mr M.P. Whitely : We don’t like you because you are lazy, useless and stupid. You are a stupid man. The SPEAKER : I formally call the member for Bassendean to order for the second time. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : If I could have access to it, I would be very interested to see it. Mr B.S. Wyatt : Why haven’t you asked to see it? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Because the video footage is the property of the Attorney General. The opposition is asking the wrong minister questions about the video of the extraction of Mr Spratt by Corrective Services officers. That was done by the emergency extraction group of the Department of Corrective Services. That department did it and it has the video footage. I have not seen it. The first time I saw the video footage of the Taser attack was on the Saturday after I returned from leave. Mr P. Papalia : How much do you get paid? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Why does the member not stop being so stupid? The Leader of the Opposition needs to pull some of his members into line. They are behaving like schoolchildren. Mr B.S. Wyatt : Sit down. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I intend to.
Mr M.P. Whitely : Have you asked for it? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Why does the member not listen? This little angel who lives in the member’s electorate, I can tell the member, has attacked police violently many times. [Interruption.] The SPEAKER : I do not know whose mobile phone rang, but members know the ruling in this place about mobile phones. While I am on my feet, the only drink that can be consumed in here is water. Some members know what I am talking about. Members can drink only water in this place. I will let the minister return to his answer. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I would be delighted to return to my answer because I think the question is very important and my answer to this chamber is equally important. As I said, I have not sighted the second video recording that we are talking about, as far as I am aware — Mr M. McGowan : Will you release it? That is the question. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I do not have it to release. It is being held. That video recording, as I understand, was made by the Department of Corrective Services’ emergency group that it sends in when very violent and difficult offenders must be extracted from a cell. I do not have either possession of or access to that footage. The Attorney General might. Mr B.S. Wyatt : Have you asked to see it? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : No, I have not asked to see it. Mr M.P. Whitely : You are an absolute embarrassment to this state. The SPEAKER : Take a seat, minister. I formally call the member for Bassendean to order for the first time. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : As part of my answer to the supplementary question, I would like to ask the member for Mindarie: did Mr Spratt approach the member or did the member approach him? I take it by his silence that, in fact, the member approached Mr Spratt and that it was not the other way around. Can I say, that the most — Mr E.S. Ripper : Are you criticising him for doing that and for standing up for a citizen? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : He is a media tart; that is all he is. All he is interested in is getting his face on the television. Point of Order Mr B.S. WYATT : The Minister for Police was given some notice of a series of questions; it was not about his posing questions to the shadow minister. The SPEAKER : What is your point of order? Mr B.S. WYATT : The point of order is relevance. I ask you, Mr Speaker, to ask the minister to come back to the very specific questions that were put to him. It was a very specific question.

I take it by his silence that, in fact, the member approached Mr Spratt and that it was not the other way around. Can I say, that the most — Mr E.S. Ripper : Are you criticising him for doing that and for standing up for a citizen? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : He is a media tart; that is all he is. All he is interested in is getting his face on the television. Point of Order Mr B.S. WYATT : The Minister for Police was given some notice of a series of questions; it was not about his posing questions to the shadow minister. The SPEAKER : What is your point of order? Mr B.S. WYATT : The point of order is relevance. I ask you, Mr Speaker, to ask the minister to come back to the very specific questions that were put to him. It was a very specific question. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I have answered the questions. The problem with the opposition is that it does not like the answers, but they are truthful answers. I do not have access to it. Mr M.P. Whitely : We don’t like you because you are lazy, useless and stupid. You are a stupid man. The SPEAKER : I formally call the member for Bassendean to order for the second time. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : If I could have access to it, I would be very interested to see it. Mr B.S. Wyatt : Why haven’t you asked to see it? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Because the video footage is the property of the Attorney General. The opposition is asking the wrong minister questions about the video of the extraction of Mr Spratt by Corrective Services officers. That was done by the emergency extraction group of the Department of Corrective Services. That department did it and it has the video footage. I have not seen it. The first time I saw the video footage of the Taser attack was on the Saturday after I returned from leave. Mr P. Papalia : How much do you get paid? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Why does the member not stop being so stupid? The Leader of the Opposition needs to pull some of his members into line. They are behaving like schoolchildren. Mr B.S. Wyatt : Sit down. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I intend to.

Mr R.F. JOHNSON replied: All I have is a copy of the CCTV footage that everyone in Western Australia has seen by now. Mr E.S. Ripper : There is a second video. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : There are allegations by the member for Mindarie, and I have heard some outrageous allegations by the member, I have to tell members, and, quite frankly, the only second video that I am aware of is the one made by the Department of Corrective Services when its officers had to extract Mr Spratt from the cell. Mr M.P. Whitely : You have not even looked at it. The SPEAKER : Member for Bassendean! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I have not seen the CCTV footage of the extraction from the cell. Mr M.P. Whitely : Have you asked for it? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Why does the member not listen? This little angel who lives in the member’s electorate, I can tell the member, has attacked police violently many times. [Interruption.] The SPEAKER : I do not know whose mobile phone rang, but members know the ruling in this place about mobile phones. While I am on my feet, the only drink that can be consumed in here is water. Some members know what I am talking about. Members can drink only water in this place. I will let the minister return to his answer. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I would be delighted to return to my answer because I think the question is very important and my answer to this chamber is equally important. As I said, I have not sighted the second video recording that we are talking about, as far as I am aware — Mr M. McGowan : Will you release it? That is the question. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I do not have it to release. It is being held. That video recording, as I understand, was made by the Department of Corrective Services’ emergency group that it sends in when very violent and difficult offenders must be extracted from a cell. I do not have either possession of or access to that footage. The Attorney General might. Mr B.S. Wyatt : Have you asked to see it? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : No, I have not asked to see it. Mr M.P. Whitely : You are an absolute embarrassment to this state. The SPEAKER : Take a seat, minister. I formally call the member for Bassendean to order for the first time. Mr R.F.

I do not have access to it. Mr M.P. Whitely : We don’t like you because you are lazy, useless and stupid. You are a stupid man. The SPEAKER : I formally call the member for Bassendean to order for the second time. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : If I could have access to it, I would be very interested to see it. Mr B.S. Wyatt : Why haven’t you asked to see it? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Because the video footage is the property of the Attorney General. The opposition is asking the wrong minister questions about the video of the extraction of Mr Spratt by Corrective Services officers. That was done by the emergency extraction group of the Department of Corrective Services. That department did it and it has the video footage. I have not seen it. The first time I saw the video footage of the Taser attack was on the Saturday after I returned from leave. Mr P. Papalia : How much do you get paid? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Why does the member not stop being so stupid? The Leader of the Opposition needs to pull some of his members into line. They are behaving like schoolchildren. Mr B.S. Wyatt : Sit down. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I intend to.
Mr M.P. Whitely : You have not even looked at it. The SPEAKER : Member for Bassendean! Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I have not seen the CCTV footage of the extraction from the cell. Mr M.P. Whitely : Have you asked for it? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Why does the member not listen? This little angel who lives in the member’s electorate, I can tell the member, has attacked police violently many times. [Interruption.] The SPEAKER : I do not know whose mobile phone rang, but members know the ruling in this place about mobile phones. While I am on my feet, the only drink that can be consumed in here is water. Some members know what I am talking about. Members can drink only water in this place. I will let the minister return to his answer. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I would be delighted to return to my answer because I think the question is very important and my answer to this chamber is equally important. As I said, I have not sighted the second video recording that we are talking about, as far as I am aware — Mr M. McGowan : Will you release it? That is the question. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I do not have it to release. It is being held. That video recording, as I understand, was made by the Department of Corrective Services’ emergency group that it sends in when very violent and difficult offenders must be extracted from a cell. I do not have either possession of or access to that footage. The Attorney General might. Mr B.S. Wyatt : Have you asked to see it? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : No, I have not asked to see it. Mr M.P. Whitely : You are an absolute embarrassment to this state. The SPEAKER : Take a seat, minister. I formally call the member for Bassendean to order for the first time. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : As part of my answer to the supplementary question, I would like to ask the member for Mindarie: did Mr Spratt approach the member or did the member approach him? I take it by his silence that, in fact, the member approached Mr Spratt and that it was not the other way around. Can I say, that the most — Mr E.S. Ripper : Are you criticising him for doing that and for standing up for a citizen? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : He is a media tart; that is all he is. All he is interested in is getting his face on the television. Point of Order Mr B.S. WYATT : The Minister for Police was given some notice of a series of questions; it was not about his posing questions to the shadow minister. The SPEAKER : What is your point of order? Mr B.S. WYATT : The point of order is relevance. I ask you, Mr Speaker, to ask the minister to come back to the very specific questions that were put to him. It was a very specific question.

The SPEAKER : I formally call the member for Bassendean to order for the second time. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : If I could have access to it, I would be very interested to see it. Mr B.S. Wyatt : Why haven’t you asked to see it? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Because the video footage is the property of the Attorney General. The opposition is asking the wrong minister questions about the video of the extraction of Mr Spratt by Corrective Services officers. That was done by the emergency extraction group of the Department of Corrective Services. That department did it and it has the video footage. I have not seen it. The first time I saw the video footage of the Taser attack was on the Saturday after I returned from leave. Mr P. Papalia : How much do you get paid? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : Why does the member not stop being so stupid? The Leader of the Opposition needs to pull some of his members into line. They are behaving like schoolchildren. Mr B.S. Wyatt : Sit down. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I intend to.
Mr R.F. JOHNSON : I do not have it to release. It is being held. That video recording, as I understand, was made by the Department of Corrective Services’ emergency group that it sends in when very violent and difficult offenders must be extracted from a cell. I do not have either possession of or access to that footage. The Attorney General might. Mr B.S. Wyatt : Have you asked to see it? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : No, I have not asked to see it. Mr M.P. Whitely : You are an absolute embarrassment to this state. The SPEAKER : Take a seat, minister. I formally call the member for Bassendean to order for the first time. Mr R.F. JOHNSON : As part of my answer to the supplementary question, I would like to ask the member for Mindarie: did Mr Spratt approach the member or did the member approach him? I take it by his silence that, in fact, the member approached Mr Spratt and that it was not the other way around. Can I say, that the most — Mr E.S. Ripper : Are you criticising him for doing that and for standing up for a citizen? Mr R.F. JOHNSON : He is a media tart; that is all he is. All he is interested in is getting his face on the television. Point of Order Mr B.S. WYATT : The Minister for Police was given some notice of a series of questions; it was not about his posing questions to the shadow minister. The SPEAKER : What is your point of order? Mr B.S. WYATT : The point of order is relevance. I ask you, Mr Speaker, to ask the minister to come back to the very specific questions that were put to him. It was a very specific question.
