COMMUNITY CENTRE CLOSURES

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (15:24): My question is to the Premier. Why has the government chosen to close more community centres than it has bulldozed bikie fortresses?

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change) (15:24): This is really tragic. Do you remember what we did—

Mr Williams interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! I warn the deputy leader.

The Hon. M.D. RANN: —with bikie fortresses? We passed a law which allows the Police Commissioner to take a court order for the removal of fortifications if there is evidence of a crime being conducted within. You know exactly what the legislation was because you were here.
