SEIZURES
588. Hon Dr BRIAN WALKER to the minister representing the
Minister for Police:
I refer the minister to the ongoing
media interest in potential changes to the still-nascent firearms legislation,
as hinted at by the Premier over the weekend.
(1) Since the
Cook government was sworn in, notwithstanding weapons voluntarily surrendered
under the firearms amnesty, how many firearms has the Western Australia Police
Force confiscated under the existing legal provisions available to it?
(2) In that same period, how many cannabis possession and/or cultivation charges have been laid before the courts ?
