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 the resourcing required, it is not possible to provide an answer within this
parliamentary sitting period, and it is requested that the honourable member
place the question on notice.
Honourable member, I asked about
this answer, and I have satisfied myself that a bit of work would need to be
undertaken and so it was not able to be done today. I apologise, but that is
the answer.
