Oakden Mental Health Facility

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:23): Further supplementary: have you, or members of your staff, briefed the Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse or any of her staff on the status of the police investigations and, if so, when were those briefings provided?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:23): I receive briefings from SAPOL on a regular basis, particularly on matters that are of substantial public interest. I'm very grateful to SAPOL for keeping me updated, as is appropriate to do so. Regarding the relevant information being forwarded to the office of the minister in the other place, I will seek clarity as to timings around that. I will be happy to disclose that, if it is appropriate to do so.
