SAFEWA APP — ACCESS — POLICE INVESTIGATION
244. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Attorney General:
I refer to the Attorney General's
comments yesterday that the Department of Health notified the state government straightaway when WA police issued orders for
information collected by the SafeWA app in December and again in March.
(1) Who in the government did the
Department of Health notify?
(2) Why did the Premier claim
yesterday that he had been notified four months later in April?

AnswerView source ↗

(1)–(2) Yes, I said that yesterday. I said that they had
notified us straightaway. I checked with the chief of staff, and it was
actually the first half of April. I checked the briefing note, and it was the
first half of April. I think the briefing note was dated 31 March and came
through in the first half of April.
