I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided to me by
the Minister for Police.
(1)–(2) The
data is considered a state archive in accordance with the State Records Act
2000, which requires the information to be kept. As the Minister for Police
stated in his response to question without notice 858 on 11 October 2022, the
data has been archived as is required under the act, and is able to be accessed
by only six employees of the Western Australia Police Force—not by all
police officers, as the honourable member has implied in the media.
