ANIMAL ACTIVISM
84. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Minister for Police:
I have a supplementary question. Is
the minister concerned that these activists continue to push the boundaries
under her watch, showing that current penalties are not enough of a deterrent?

AnswerView source ↗

Look, I understand there have been a
very small number of incidents, but I take those incidents very seriously and
so does the Western Australia Police Force. I will take my advice, in terms of
any further actions needed, from the Commissioner of Police and from Assistant
Commissioner Smallpage.
