364. Hon Alison Xamon to the Leader of the House representing the Attorney General:
I refer to the Drug Court operated from the Perth Children’s Court, and I ask:
(a) has the program been evaluated;
(b) if yes to (a), will the Minister please table a copy;
(c) if yes to (a), who undertook the evaluation;
(d) if yes to (a), what year was the evaluation undertaken;
HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [5.26 pm]: I rise tonight to make some comments about the commonwealth redress scheme, which has an implication for this state. Members may know that on 26 October, legislation was introduced into the Australian Parliament to establish a commonwealth redress scheme for institutional child sexual abuse. The establishment of a commonwealth redress scheme was one of the many recommendations that has come out of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
