(a-c) While individual agencies, including WA Police, review requests for an Act of Grace payment prior to that request being submitted to the Treasurer for approval (Treasurer's Instruction 419),
ex gratia payments
can only be authorised by Cabinet under its executive powers. Requests for an ex gratia payment are properly made to the Attorney General for consideration as to whether he would recommend to Cabinet that such a payment should be made.
