Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 390 asked in the Legislative Council on 11 May 2022 by Hon Peter Collier

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

COMMUNITIES — POLICE RAID

390. Hon PETER COLLIER to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Community Services:

I refer the minister to her response to question on notice 680 answered on 10 May 2022.

(1) Why is it ''not appropriate to respond to the questions as to whether any specific criminal conduct was allegedly committed by persons referred to in the members questions'' when the minister and Premier have stated publicly and in the Parliament that the female Aboriginal officer employed within the Department of Communities whose home was raided by police was being investigated for possible criminal activity?

(2) Of the eight people being investigated, was the Aboriginal female officer the only one being investigated for possible criminal activity?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1)–(2) Matters relating to allegations of criminal conduct and related investigations are appropriately directed to the WA Police Force.
