PEARCE (King—Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:48):</by>  I thank the member for his question on this matter. We certainly are very passionate about doing what we can to help reduce the rate of crime in myriad ways, focusing on myriad different groups to help have the maximum impact that we can have out in our local communities.</text>
        <text id="202510157165cdd681e24c25b0000474">It is something that we are all incredibly passionate about because we know that we have to have a holistic approach when we are looking at dropping the rates in that place as well. I am involved in lots of different conversations, lots of different task forces, to help address and drop that rate. I am more than happy to have conversations about it with the member when he pleases.</text>
