Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 546 asked in the Legislative Council on 4 June 2019 by Hon Tjorn Sibma

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

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.
