I refer to notice given on 7 December 2021 during the Committee of the Whole House's consideration of the Criminal Law (Unlawful Consorting and Prohibited Insignia) Bill 2021, and I ask:
(a) what is the total number of declared drug traffickers recorded in the Western Australia Police Force incident management system; and
(b) what is the total number of section 557K(4) Criminal Code warnings issued by Western Australia police to a child sex offender under 18 years of age?
