Bushfire Offender Monitoring

The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:06): Supplementary: is the Attorney still committed, as they were at the time, to improving that legislation to overcome any delays that may arise as a result of applications having to be made through the Magistrates Court in terms of monitoring?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:06): I thank the honourable member for her question. The legislation, as proposed, I think provides the needed checks and balances. This isn't just SAPOL or one other person or instrumentality wanting this order; it has to go to the Magistrates Court and an application be made. It shows that it works because, as we have just seen, there has been such an order made.
