❓ Hon Alison Xamon asks about the number and value of successful criminal property confiscation applications made by police since 2009, broken down by grounds for confiscation, and whether any confiscated property was subject to a mortgage with an innocent third party. The Police Minister deflects, stating police only prepare freezing notices and the question should be directed to the DPP and Department of Justice.

Western Australia Police Force prepare freezing notices which freeze all property identified to be confiscable and affidavits of support for confiscation actions. Police do not commence confiscation applications. The question should therefore be referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). (b-e) The proceeds of all property confiscated are collected in the Confiscation Proceeds Account administered by the Department of Justice. Interested parties can lodge an objection with the DPP.
