Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 473 asked in the Legislative Council on 14 May 2019 by Hon Diane Evers

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

POLICE — SHOOTING — GELORUP

473. Hon DIANE EVERS to the minister representing the Minister for Police:

I refer to an occurrence on the evening of 9 January 2019 in Gelorup, whereby residents heard multiple gunshots in close proximity to the residential area.

(1) Were any permits for the shooting of kangaroos and/or other wildlife approved in Gelorup on that date; and, if yes, was the permit holder a local landowner?

(2) Did the shots in question occur on local property or on crown land?

(3) How many phone calls from Gelorup residents did police receive about this incident and how did the police respond?

(4) Were any investigations carried out in relation to the shots; and, if yes, what was the result?

(5) Are there any requirements to inform nearby residents when a shooting permit has been approved?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

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

I have an answer to the question but I found a significant error in answer to (1), so I will get a proper answer for the member for tomorrow.
