Question Without Notice No. 810 asked in the Legislative Council on 8 November 2017 by Hon Rick Mazza
Parliament: 40 Session: 1
POLICE — FIREARMS CARRIAGE
810. Hon RICK MAZZA to the minister representing the Minister for Police:
I refer to the issue of Australia Post not being an approved commercial carriage for firearms.
(1) Does the Western Australia Police Force currently use Australia Post for the carriage of police-owned firearms?
(2) If yes to (1), are firearms that are deemed to be category D and H carried by Australia Post?
(3) If yes to (1) and (2), what is the rationale for not allowing firearms dealers and other stakeholders to use Australia Post?
Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question.
(1)–(3) The Western Australia Police Force advises that it uses TNT Failsafe to move weapons.
