Law and Order

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [5.26 pm]: I rise tonight to make some comments about concerns that have been raised about me that have now made their way to the media about the appropriateness of me being appointed, as a Greens member, to the committee that oversights the Corruption and Crime Commission. I wanted an opportunity to respond to some of those comments.

209. Hon ALISON XAMON to the Leader of the House representing the Attorney General:

I refer to the Children’s Court Drug Court.

(1) Given the demonstrated success of the court and clear need in regional areas, will the government commit to expanding this court to regional areas?

(2) If no to (1), why not?

(3) If yes to (1), when?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.
