POLICE — DIVERSE SEXUALITY AND GENDER COMMUNITY — BRIEFING NOTE

2993. Hon Alison Xamon to the minister representing the Minister for Police:

I refer to the briefing paper ‘Western Australia Police Force assessment of crime trends based on prejudice towards the diverse sexuality and gender community,’ and I ask:

(a)  has Western Australia Police Force now completed a needs and impact assessment;

(b)  if no to (a), why not;

(c)  if yes to (a), would the Minister please table a copy; and

(d)  if no to (c), why not?

Hon Stephen Dawson replied:

The Western Australian Police advise:

(a)–(b) As there are a range of current plans and policies already in place to ensure our service delivery remains respectful to all members of the community and our legislative obligations, a needs and impact assessment is not planned.

(c)–(d) Not applicable.
