NICOLE McKEE (ACT): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I rise in support of this bill, the Policing (Killing a Police Dog) Amendment Bill, on behalf of the ACT Party. I just, before I start, would like to perhaps make some comments on comments that were raised from across the Chamber. I've heard about this law being a deterrent and that not being good enough. Well, you know, I don't have a legal law degree, but what I would have thought is that every law we make is for some form of deterrence. That is why we make the laws.
