I refer to the answer given on 27 May 2025 to my question without notice regarding Operation Saya, which stated that there are no specific ongoing operating costs associated with the operation and no Western Australian Police equipment has been dedicated to it, and I ask: (a) has any internal costing or operational assessment been undertaken to determine the resourcing impact of Operation Saya on the Mirrabooka District and the specialist units involved; (b) have any officers deployed as part of Operation Saya received overtime payments since its commencement on 12 May 2025; (c) if yes to (b), what is the total overtime cost to date; and (d) will the Minister table the most recent review or evaluation of Operation Saya, including the criteria used to assess its continuation?
