(a) The Government has not refused to continue the
Criminal Property Confiscation Act
2000 (WA) grants program. After the findings of the Departmental audit report into the operation of the grants program, the program was suspended. It is intended that the grants system will be restructured to operate in a more competent and transparent manner with proper recording of Confiscation Proceeds Account Committee meetings, deliberations and reasons for decsions. The program will be started after the tabling and consideration by the Department of the Attorney General of the Public Accounts Committee report on the matter and once the program has been restructured, a new round will be held shortly thereafter and any accumulated funds not otherwise allocated will be distributed to community applicants according to the new and improved processes and procedures.
