Greens Member for South Metropolitan Lynn MacLaren MLC has questioned the public benefit achieved of dozens of police officers being sent to Bibra Lake near Adventure World today.
“If numerous police officers, horses and vehicles are going to be sent to the Beeliar Wetlands every time Main Roads has surveyors in the area, Roe 8 is going to be an even more expensive lemon of a project than we already thought,” Ms MacLaren said.
“The police assembled there, despite no protest being underway or planned.
“If this is how the Government intends proceed, I suggest it needs to start calculating realistically for the cost and amount of police resources it is willing to divert from investigating and preventing crime to pre-emptive type anti-protest action on Roe 8.
