Speeches

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [6.44 pm]: I rise because I want to make some comments about the mental health and police co-response teams. This was an initiative of the previous government—a pilot program—and it has continued to receive support from the current government, about which I am very pleased. In September last year, the government finally released the evaluation of this co-response trial. Members may recall that I spoke to that evaluation in Parliament at the time because it found that, not surprisingly, the trial had been very successful.

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [9.48 pm]: I rise because I want to bring the attention of this house, yet again, to what has happened with the ecological linkage between the Underwood Avenue and Shenton Park Bush Forever sites, which I have spoken about several times in this place. I refer to the Shenton Park Rehabilitation Hospital site redevelopment, which is also known as the Montario Quarter.
