Drug trafficker declarations70.Hon Dr Brian Walkerto the parliamentary secretary representing the Attorney
General:I refer the Attorney General to the response his predecessor
was good enough to provide to me on Tuesday, 22 February 2022 regarding the
distribution of funds garnered under the provisions of the Criminal Property
Confiscation Act in recent years.(1)
Noting that it is "rare for a (drug trafficker) declaration not to be made
when sought", is the Attorney able to provide me with the number of
occasions on which this has happened?(2)
Given that the Auditor General's review of criminal confiscation, published in
2018, stated that the DPP was eligible to have received bonus payments from the
Confiscation Proceeds Account in 2016 and 2017, is the Attorney able to provide
more up-to-date figures on bonus payment eligibility in successive years?
