POLICE — FAMILY
AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
452. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the
Minister for Police:
I refer the minister to his
response to question without notice 396, asked on Tuesday, 3 August 2021, and
my question without notice 450, answered on Thursday, 9 May 2024.
Why was the response to the
question about arrests made for family and domestic violence incidents possible
for question without notice 396, but not possible for question 450, due to the
fact that ''the number of arrests resulting from the above incidents
cannot be determined in a reliable and systematic manner''?
