But when I had this meeting with the assistant commissioner that was spearheading that pilot, my question at the end of the meeting was very, very simple.

When you've categorised that the offender poses a high risk, what do you do then?

Now, at that point, there was no answer because they hadn't gotten that far.

Honestly, this is not rocket science to anybody.

Clearly, my statement was to the point.

Well, in my opinion, you're telling me that this has been done to prevent what happened to Celeste from happening again.

And in my opinion, you will not prevent anything.

that same scenario, you will not prevent another death if you do not detain or detect.

Either you're going to keep the offender, the high risk offender, in remand until he's before the courts, or

you're going to detect through whether it's an ankle bracelet or some other device, but through electronic monitoring.

That has been dismissed altogether.

Our premier here in Victoria in 2024 announced that electronic monitoring would not be implemented.

She did state her reasons.

Her reasons were it would give women a false sense of security.

It wasn't in the judge's comments because it wasn't in the opening summary from the prosecution because it was that first time into the police station.

It was never recorded.

I have no idea.

That's part, I suppose, of what the coronial inquest should be investigating.

We did all of it together.

We went to the police station together the first time.
