BUYBACK PROGRAM
51. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the minister representing the
Minister for Police:
I refer to the government's
firearm buyback compensation scheme. What peak bodies or industry experts did
the government consult to determine the appropriate buyback fee payable for the
scheme?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following information has been provided to me
by the Minister for Police.
The Western Australia Police Force
advises that due to confidentiality agreements, the agency is unable to provide the requested details regarding the consultation
participants. These agreements were made with industry stakeholders, who
were consulted to determine the appropriate buyback fees payable for the
scheme. Due to confidentiality and privacy concerns, the requested details may
cause commercial impact and potential risks to their businesses.
