I thank the member
for the question, which was submitted on 9 September. The answer was correct at
that time. The following answer has been provided to me by the Minister for
Police.
(1)–(4) Consorting notices have a
three-year expiry and are not extendable. If there have been breaches during
the three-year period, WA police can apply for a new consorting notice. After
the three-year period, WA police can apply for a new consorting notice, based
on evidence. The individual was delivered with a consorting notice on 30 May
2022, with an end date of 30 May 2025. Its terms were that the individual must
not consort with 36 relevant offenders named in the unlawful consorting notice.
Five consorting notices have been delivered since the laws came into force.
