breaches in relation to the Police Licensing Services (Firearms) database?

data was accessed, and have any and all individuals whose personal data was
compromised been informed of the breach; and, if not, why not?
Hon

some notice of the question. The following information has been provided to me
by the Minister for Police. The Western Australia Police Force advises the following.
