MOTORCYCLE GANGS

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): Is it government policy now that all funeral processions will be filmed, whether they involve motorcycles or motor vehicles? I went to a funeral yesterday: am I to be filmed in relation to whether I am wearing a seatbelt or not?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning) (14:25): I am sure that, if the honourable member goes to a funeral and he does not wear a seatbelt and it comes to the attention of the police, something would be done. In relation to the filming of these events, obviously that will be undertaken only in relation to these types of events. It is the sensible and appropriate way of doing it.
