POLICE — FEDERAL ELECTION
373. Hon MICHAEL MISCHIN to the minister representing the
Minister for Police:
I refer to the minister's
response to question on notice 4830 asked in the Legislative Assembly.
(1) Does the
number of hours worked on any given day by a commissioned officer also include
a provision or allowance for an officer to take time off to campaign as a candidate
in the upcoming federal election?
(2) Has any
police officer taken time off between 1 January and 1 March 2019 to campaign as
a Labor candidate in the upcoming federal election; and, if so, on which dates?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
I have noticed an error in this
answer, so I will not provide it to the member today. I will seek guidance from
the minister and come back at a later stage to give the member a proper answer.
