SAFEWA APP — ACCESS — POLICE INVESTIGATION
245. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Attorney General:
I
have a supplementary question. Yesterday the Attorney General said ''December''.
Is that not slightly careless, as the top lawyer in Western Australia,
in terms of the provision of information to the public? Are you sure that the
government was not made aware before April when the Premier notified us
yesterday?

No;
I am sure that I said that the request for the information was in December. The
request for the information, from my recollection, was about 23 or 24 December
2020. The briefing note that I have seen coming through, which my chief of
staff ultimately was given, was dated 31 March. It did not come to our
attention until the first half of April.
