DEATH OF LEIGH LEIGH Ministerial StatementMr WHELAN (Ashfield - Minister for Police) [2.18]: I desire to make a ministerial statement relating to the tragic death of Leigh Leigh. I am sure that most members of this House are aware of the circumstances surrounding this tragic case. On a spring night in 1989 14-year-old Leigh Leigh went to a birthday party at Stockton Beach near Newcastle. She had a written invitation and permission from her mother, who was told that responsible adults would be attending the party. Tragically, Leigh still had the invitation in her pocket when her body was found the next morning. Between 80 and 100 other young people attended the party that night.
