Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1032 asked in the Legislative Council on 24 September 2020 by Hon Peter Collier

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

CORONAVIRUS — INTERSTATE AND INTERNATIONAL BORDER RESTRICTIONS —APPLICATIONS

1032. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the Minister for Police:

I refer to the minister's response to question without notice 905 asked on Tuesday, 15 September 2020.

Given that the Western Australia Police Force does not require an applicant's residential address for consideration for exemption, how is it determined that an applicant is actually a Western Australian resident?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided to me by the Minister for Police.

The Western Australian Police Force advises that being a Western Australian resident is not a category for exemption to enter Western Australia under the Quarantine (Closing the Border) Directions.

Honourable member, I had not seen that answer. I realised that it was asked earlier in the week. I am happy to see whether I might be able to get the member a different answer.
