Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1126 asked in the Legislative Council on 16 November 2022 by Hon Nick Goiran

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

WAYNE VALENTA — RESOCIALISATION PROGRAM

1126. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the parliamentary secretary representing the Attorney General:

I refer to the response to my question without notice asked on 9 November 2021 in which the Attorney General acknowledged that he was aware of opposition to the recommendation that Wayne Valenta be approved for a resocialisation program, given his violent murder of Deborah Boyd after hiding under her 15-year-old daughter's bed for three hours.

(1) What decision did the Attorney General make?

(2) When was it made?

(3) Will the parliamentary secretary table the most recent briefing note or similar document that the Attorney General has received about Mr Valenta in either an unredacted or redacted form?

(4) If no to (3), will he undertake to comply with section 82 of the Financial Management Act 2006?

Hon MATTHEW SWINBOURN replied:

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

It is not possible to provide the member with a response within the time available and I ask that he place this question on notice.
