Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 800 asked in the Legislative Council on 13 October 2021 by Hon Nick Goiran

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

POLICE — EXCESSIVE FORCE ALLEGATIONS — CORRUPTION AND CRIME COMMISSION

800. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the parliamentary secretary representing the Attorney General:

I refer to recommendation 13 of the fifteenth report of the Joint Standing Committee on the Corruption and Crime Commission, published in September 2020, which states that the Attorney General should ensure that the WA Police Force and Corruption and Crime Commission publish statistics on their investigations into allegations of excessive use of force.

(1) Has the Attorney General considered this recommendation?

(2) If yes to (1), will the Attorney General table the most recent published statistics?

(3) If no to either (1) or (2), why not?

Hon MATTHEW SWINBOURN replied:

I thank the member for some notice of the question.

(1)–(3) The fifteenth report of the Joint Standing Committee on the Corruption and Crime Commission was tabled on 24 September 2020 during the fortieth Parliament. Due to the prorogation of Parliament and the dissolution of the Legislative Assembly on 7 December 2020, the government did not have the opportunity to respond to the recommendations of the fifteenth report. On 9 September 2021, the Joint Standing Committee on the Corruption and Crime Commission of the present Parliament tabled its second report containing the findings and recommendations of the fifteenth report. The government's response to the second report will be pursuant to Legislative Assembly standing order 277(1).
