Question Without Notice No. 886 asked in the Legislative Council on 28 October 2021 by Hon Nick Goiran

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

SAFEWA APP — ACCESS — POLICE INVESTIGATION

886. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the minister representing the Minister for Police:

I refer to the evidence provided by the Commissioner of Police to the Standing Committee on Estimates and Financial Operations that the first time he became aware that officers had sought orders to produce SafeWA app records was on or around 26 February 2021, and that the first time he raised the issue with the Minister for Police was by a briefing note provided on 14 May 2021.

(1) Did the Commissioner of Police ever raise this issue with the Minister for Police who immediately preceded the current minister?

(2) If yes to (1), when?

(3) Will the minister table the briefing note of 14 May 2021?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The following information has been provided to me by the Minister for Police.

(1)–(2) I refer the honourable member to standing order 104.

(3) Advice is being sought as to whether the briefing note may be tabled.
