POLICE — CANNABIS
OFFENCES
386. Hon SOPHIA MOERMOND to the minister representing the
Minister for Police:
I refer the minister to the harm
minimisation strategies, priority substances and priority populations outlined
in the Australian government's National
drug strategy 2017–2026. How many Western Australians have been
charged for cannabis-related crimes associated with quantities
pertaining to personal use compared with trafficable offences?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following information has been provided to the
representative minister by the Minister for Police.
The Western Australian Police Force
advises that a response to this question cannot be provided within the required
time frame. The honourable member may wish to place the question on notice. By
way of assistance, if the honourable member signs the question and hands it to
one of the clerks now, that will put it on notice if that is what she wants to
do.
