Southern Expressway

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:35): My question is to the Minister for Police. Can the minister name one action, can he name one decision, he has taken to curb the spate of rock throwing along the Southern Expressway?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:36): I thank the member for his question. It is the same as the question he has fundamentally asked me before about the action that has been taken and I can tell you, Mr Speaker, that we are backing police. I can't be strong enough in what I say on this.

On that side, they had 16 years of rock throwing, 16 years of incidents like this, and they did nothing. This is far too little far too late from the other side of the chamber.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER Order!

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: They are blowing this up. They are not taking responsibility—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER Order!

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: —for their 16 years in government. They are not taking responsibility for their lack of action. On this side, we are working with police and, I stress again, their trigger response was outstanding. Their call to action has been outstanding. We back police: they don't. That sits on them.
