AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable Leader of the
Opposition for some notice of the question. The following answer has been
provided to me by the Minister for Police.
(1)–(5) Please
refer to Legislative Council question C888—Hansard 737. The Western Australia
Police Force is in the process of refining
its data collection options rather than relying on time-consuming and less
reliable manual counting. If the honourable member wishes to place the
question on notice, the Western Australia Police Force can be requested to
identify relevant available and validated data. I table a paper that summarises
the quarantine arrangements under directions issued by the State Emergency
Coordinator.
