1032. Hon PETER COLLIER to
the minister representing the Minister for Police:
I refer to the minister's
response to question without notice 905 asked on Tuesday, 15 September 2020.
Given that the Western Australia
Police Force does not require an applicant's residential address for
consideration for exemption, how is it determined that an applicant is actually
a Western Australian resident?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided to me by
the Minister for Police.
The
Western Australian Police Force advises that being a Western Australian
resident is not a category for exemption to enter Western Australia
under the Quarantine (Closing the Border) Directions.
Honourable member, I had not seen
that answer. I realised that it was asked earlier in the week. I am happy to
see whether I might be able to get the member a different answer.
