FLOREAT SHOOTINGS —
POLICE INVESTIGATION
1583. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the
Minister for Police:
I refer to the internal report into
the tragic Floreat shootings.
(1) Has the report been completed?
(2) If yes to (1), will it be made
public; and if not, why not?
(3) If no to (1), when is it
anticipated that it will be completed?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the Leader of the
Opposition for some notice of the question. The Western Australia Police Force
advise the following.
(1) No.
(2)–(3) The
WA Police Force do not release reports directly to the public in relation to
fatal shooting incidents. The Commissioner of Police is considering publicly releasing
the findings and recommendations—not the full report—in
relation to the internal investigation. The decision will be based on
consultation with the State Coroner, the Corruption and Crime Commission, the
Ombudsman WA, and the Petelczyc and Bombara families. Consultation with the
above stakeholders is currently underway.
