MAHER (Attorney-General, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:14):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. I don't have current up-to-date crime statistics. I am happy to take that on notice and bring back a reply. I suspect when there are more people and increased activity a whole lot of statistics increase, but I wouldn't want to have a guess without knowing for sure, so I am very happy to take that on notice and, if there are statistics that can be ascertained for that, bring the honourable member a reply in relation to it.</text>
