Oakden Mental Health Facility

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): A supplementary: given that concerns regarding the Oakden facility were raised by the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists going back to 2013, why did the government narrow its focus just to 2016?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:31): It didn't. The truth is that the inquiry was a broad-ranging inquiry. The fact that it used a particular incident as the starting-off point to actually undertake a broad review of this institution is not difficult to understand. Of course you start with the relevant incident. It's the very thing that the community visitor raised. It would be inappropriate not to start at that point, but of course he looked more broadly. It's difficult to understand the point the Leader of the Opposition makes. The report itself is a thoroughgoing review of all the issues—

Mr Marshall: But limited to 2016.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: —associated with Oakden—

Mr Marshall: Limited to 2016.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: —back to 2007.

The SPEAKER: The leader is warned.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: If he wants to make the detailed lawyers' points, he should leave it to his deputy; she is much better at it.
