‘sly grog’ market in the area of the Kimberley with restrictions, and I ask: (a) do WA Police have an estimate of the size of the
current ‘sly grog’ market in the Kimberley; (b) if
yes to (a): (i) what is it; (ii) how did the police reach that figure; and (iii) can
WA police comment as to whether they believe the size is increasing or
decreasing and on what basis; and (c) can WA Police identify which towns in the
Kimberley are the source of packaged alcohol for the ‘sly grog’ market?
