Question Without Notice No. 201 asked in the Legislative Council on 29 March 2018 by Hon Aaron Stonehouse
Parliament: 40 Session: 1
UNEXPLAINED WEALTH DECLARATIONS
201. Hon AARON STONEHOUSE to the Leader of the House representing the Attorney General:
I refer to a report dated 28 April 2017 on the ABC website in which the Attorney General is said to have blamed the low number of unexplained wealth declarations over the past decade on the Director of Public Prosecutions having had ''insufficient resources'' to pursue criminals in this regard.
(1) How many unexplained wealth declarations were applied for in each calendar year between 2000, when the Criminal Property Confiscation Act 2000 became law, and 2017?
(2) How many of those applications were granted?
(3) How many subsequently led to confiscations?
Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. I table the attached document.
