Crime Levels: Statements.
I detect there may be a legacy of antagonism arising from debates on crime in the period from 1994 to 1997. Those who believe certain Ministers received an unfair press or were subject to over-robust opposition at that time may be right. However, there is no reason to replicate that unfair debate now. We have to be constructive, realistic and honest. I am deeply grateful to Senators for arranging this debate and giving me an opportunity to participate in it.
