Personal Explanation

Domestic Violence

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (15:41): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: Today, in question time, I advised the house that there had been three separate charges laid against potential perpetrators of strangulation, which became an offence as at 31 January this year. I am advised that in fact there have been 37, not three, as of today. Again, I confer my even greater appreciation to SAPOL for acting on these matters.
