Child Sex Offenders

The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD (15:17): Supplementary: when does the Attorney expect the state-based register to be operational?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:17): I am happy to check with SAPOL and bring back an answer. At the very least, information technology issues will need to be put in place for that to occur. 'As soon as is practical' is an answer, but I am happy to find out when it is expected to come online. If some elements of that can be done more quickly, they may come on before other elements, but I am happy to check on that for the honourable member.
