Child Sex Offenders

The Hon. L.A. HENDERSON (14:57): Supplementary question: can the minister advise how many convicted child sex offenders have in the last 12 months submitted character references in mitigation of their sentences?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:57): Sorry, I thank the honourable member for that part of the question. I forgot to mention that when I talked about having met with Jarad and Harrison. I am happy to go away and see if there are statistics. My guess is there are probably not records kept of those statistics, but I am happy to go away and see if there are and bring it back if it's possible.
