Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1998 Week 4 Hansard (24 June) . . Page.. 906 ..
MR HUMPHRIES (continuing):
Canberra police, faced with an incident in which their safety was seriously threatened, demonstrated their outstanding skills in incident management. The handling of last night's incident was a credit to their profession and gives every Canberran, and every Australian, a reason to be very proud of their skills even in the face of serious threats to their personal safety.
This month's meeting of the Australasian Police Ministers Council was one which considered a range of serious issues and one where agreement was not easily forthcoming on all of them. But law enforcement faces many challenges at the moment, in areas such as new technology, firearms, use of force, organised criminal activity and the like. The APMC helps coordinate national and international responses to those challenges. I present the following paper:
Australasian Police Ministers Council - ministerial statement, 24 June 1998.
I move:
That the Assembly takes note of the paper.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
