Firearms Act—Digital identification
15. Hon Louise Kingston to the minister representing the Minister for Police:
I refer to my question without notice 4, asked and answered on 8 April 2024.
(1) What will be put in place for people with no mobile phone, computer or internet access in regional areas and who cannot use myID, or choose not to, to facilitate applying for a firearms licence or property letters?
(2) Will they be denied a firearms licence or be unable to register their property?
Hon Samantha Rowe replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question and provide the following answer on behalf of the Minister for Environment.
(1)–(2) The Western Australia Police Force's licensing services and firearms transition team already has processes and systems in place to assist licensed firearms owners according to their specific needs. Any reasonable request will not be denied.
