SERIAL CHILD SEX OFFENDER
— SUPERVISION ORDER
546. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the minister representing the
Minister for Police:
I refer to reports that a 65-year-old
serial child sex offender—MGD—has been released into the
community on a supervision order that directs compliance with 49 conditions.
(1) What will be
the full financial cost, on a yearly basis, to the Western Australian taxpayer
of the Western Australia Police Force's management and supervision of
MGD in the community in a manner that ensures his compliance with all
conditions of release?
(2) What would be the full financial cost, on a yearly
basis, of MGD's continued detention in a correctional facility?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The Western Australia
Police Force advises that it is unable to provide a response in the time
permitted. If the honourable member puts the question on notice, I will seek
further information from the Western Australia Police Force.
(2) This question should be referred
to the minister representing the Minister for Corrective Services.
