EASLING, MR T.

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:57): My question is to the Minister for Police. Is the government's position still as outlined in the letter of 9 May 2005 by the former minister for police and now Treasurer, Mr Foley, as follows:

No media release was issued by SAPOL in relation to the imminent arrest of Mr Easling, no member of the Premier's department was informed of the date and time of Mr Easling's arrest prior to the event, and no media representatives were given prior notice of the apprehension of Mr Easling.

Does the minister stand by that position?

The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Police, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:58): I will obtain a report for the member.
