Assaults on Police

The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD (15:01): Supplementary: I thank the Attorney for his answer. Are those matters under consultation, or are they simply in the planning stages, if you like?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (15:01): I thank the honourable member for his supplementary question. I will have to go and check. I know that work is being done within government. What else I do know is that certainly within government consultation the police are heavily involved in looking at how we address this matter.
