AnswerView source ↗

On behalf of the Minister for Police, I thank the honourable
member for some notice of the question.
(1)–(2)
The specific camera that is to be purchased has been identified. Western
Australia Police is currently in the process of obtaining the cameras.
(3)–(4) No decisions have been made about locations
for the deployment of covert hoon cameras.
(5) The answer
is in table form. It is not a particularly long table, but by way of summary,
the total for Dawesville over the months of September, October, November,
December and January is 14 and the total for Mandurah over the same period is
24. The member will be able to see the details when she reads Hansard .
