POLICE — HATE CRIMES
462. Hon ALISON XAMON to the minister representing the Minister for Police:
(1) Does the Western Australia Police Force currently collect data on the prevalence of assaults that are suspected LGBTIQ hate crimes?
(2) If yes to (1), what specific information is collected?
(3) If no to (1), how can we determine whether LGBTIQ hate crimes represent a systemic problem in Western Australia?
