POLICE —
RECRUITMENT
577. Mr P.A. KATSAMBANIS to the Premier:
I
have a supplementary question. If 400 police have been taken off the front line
to fight COVID-19, will the Premier finally admit that the safety of Western
Australians is being compromised because of Labor's failure to put more
police on the beat, where they are needed most?

AnswerView source ↗

No, I will not, and politicising
COVID-19 is something that I would urge the Liberal Party to stop doing.
