SAFE COMMUNITIES

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (15:05): Given that the Attorney-General in his answer to that question said that under the new reward system for the return and recovery of illegal firearms the number was 35 and that is exactly the same number that he quoted approximately a month ago as recovered in the first month of the scheme, is he telling the house that none were recovered in the second month?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:06): No, I am not saying that. I am saying that I know for sure that that many were recovered during that period. I do not have the running tally from that period to the present.
