FIREARMS BILL 2024
418. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Minister for Police:
Last week it was revealed in the
Legislative Council that the Western Australia Police Force has been assessing firearms applications in line with the Firearms
Bill 2024, legislation that the minister knows is still before Parliament ,
although we know also that the debate on the bill is set to be guillotined
tonight despite promises in this place that that would not take place. Did the
minister advise the police to ignore the processes of Parliament and
prematurely enforce these proposed new laws?
