POLICE MINISTER, ASSAULT

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:47): My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier stand by his comments made on radio on 8 April regarding the second alleged attack on the Minister for Police, and I quote:

One of them came out and thumped Kevin Foley. Well, I want to see the guy locked up; coward, absolute coward.

Does he stand by that statement, given that the case has now been dropped?

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change) (14:47): Absolutely stand by it.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Little Para.
