Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 919 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 17 November 2020 by Mr P.A. Katsambanis

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

ANNALIESSE UGLE

919. Mr P.A. KATSAMBANIS to the Minister for Police:

I have a supplementary question. Will the minister now join with the Liberal Party and convince her cabinet colleagues to support an ''Annaliesse Ugle's law'' to prevent a terrible tragedy like this from happening again?

Mrs M.H. ROBERTS replied:

I am well aware of the heartache that the family has experienced. I am also aware that a coronial inquest is likely. I think it is appropriate that we deal with this in a considered way and in a way that benefits not only Annaliesse's family, but also other families who may go through similar trauma. This has been a deeply traumatic event for many in the community, and I appreciate that. As the member well knows, there is no time to introduce new laws this year, and I think it is appropriate that we put in place the best possible measures and that we give those measures proper consideration. That is what we will do on behalf of the whole community.
