What we have here, ladies and gentlemen, is the
mandatory complex of the sobering up center
trial, that the premier and I, together with
Mr. Goward,
have announced prior to,
in opposition and, most certainly, since coming to government, our intentions to fulfil that commitment
Police unfortunately deal with
drunk and disorderly violent
people every day of the week, more so on the weekend
and we deal with those people apparently
This is just another option, another
means where we deal with people who just
won't take no for an answer
If we get to the
point where we're issuing someone
move on direction for being
drunk and disorderly
and they refuse that direction,
are over the age of eighteen years of age, they're acting in a drunk and
disorderly, anti-social or violent manner,
this is where they're going to end up
Cops do that now, we do it every night
This complex is about changing people's behaviour,
it's about saying to people, if you come here once, don't come back for seconds, it's
about saying when you speak to a police officer because of your
drunk and disorderly behaviour,
the words you utter to that officer can determine where you spend the night,
in your own bed
or one supplied by me
and the one supplied by us
isn't going to be very comfortable,
it isn't going to smell very good and I guarantee you're gonna remember your night here for the rest of your life
