MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector Serial Sex Offenders The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:16): We are always happy to look at legislative matters and we have done that in the past in terms of when there is a need to clarify things for community safety. There was the issue of the prescribed amount to be considered for serious drug trafficking offences due to, effectively, a gap in the law, that members in both these houses very quickly acted to rectify a loophole. If there are loopholes like that in the law we absolutely always will entertain them.
