POLICE — FIREARMS DATABASE

1128. Hon AARON STONEHOUSE to the minister representing the Minister for Police:

I refer the minister to the Auditor General's tenth annual ''Information Systems Audit Report'' published in August this year, which highlighted a number of security issues across a range of Western Australian government departments.

(1) Since that publication, has the Western Australia Police Force experienced any data breaches in relation to the Police Licensing Services (Firearms) database?

(2) If yes, what 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 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. The Western Australia Police Force advises the following.

(1) No.
