Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 643 asked in the Legislative Council on 13 June 2019 by Hon Michael Mischin

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

ATTORNEY GENERAL — LEGISLATIVE AGENDA

643. Hon MICHAEL MISCHIN to the Leader of the House representing the Attorney General:

I refer to the following projects promised by the Attorney General and ask in respect of each about the status of that project and of any legislation necessary for its establishment: increased punishment of vegan anti–animal cruelty activists; asbestos diseases compensation legislation; the justice pipeline planning and assessment model for which $850 000 was budgeted in 2017–18; the so-called high-risk offenders board; the remaining reforms to the Coroner's Court; amendments to the Criminal Law (Mentally Impaired Accused) Act 1996; the Western Australian crime statistics and research office; and the appointment of a permanent, rather than an acting, Commissioner for Victims of Crime.

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

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

The Attorney General continues to implement the McGowan government's extensive law reform agenda and attend to a number of matters that were ignored by the honourable member during his time as Attorney General. The appointment of the Commissioner for Victims of Crime is a matter for the director general of the Department of Justice.
