ATTORNEY-GENERAL

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 1250

Forrest Road Accident - Assault Charges

MR CORNWELL: To ask the Attorney-General -

(1) Is it a fact that several local residents of Tennyson Crescent, Forrest, were

assaulted following a road accident in the crescent on 10 January 1994.

(2) What action is being taken against the alleged perpetrators of the assault.

(3) What action, if any, is being taken against the driver of the vehicle involved

in the accident and was the vehicle stolen or unregistered.

(4) What were the circumstances of the alleged assault.

(5) When will the alleged assault come to Court and can the Attorney-General

assure me that the ethnicity of the alleged perpetrators will not prevent the

police from taking action if grounds exist for action on assault charges

being laid.

MR CONNOLLY: The answer to Mr Cornwells question is as follows:

(1, 2, 4 & 5) Police enquiries in relation to this incident have led to the charging of three persons. I am unable to provide further information concerning this incident as the matter is subjudice.

(3) The driver of the vehicle has been summonsed for a number of offences.

Similarly, no further information can be provided as this matter is also

subjudice.
