(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?

I refer to the answer to my question without notice 393 asked on 12 May 2020 regarding warrants of commitment for fine defaulters.
(1) How many individuals have been arrested by WA police on warrants of commitment for fine default during the COVID-19 emergency period?
(2) Has the minister or the Commissioner of Police taken any action to ensure people are not imprisoned for fine default during this period?
