Resumed from 13 March on the following motion moved by Hon Jim Chown —

That the report be noted.

POLICE — HATE CRIMES

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [9.45 pm]: I rise tonight because I want to speak to the issues raised by the government’s response to a question I asked in Parliament last week about the prevalence of hate crime in this state.

The minister advised that the Western Australia Police Force collects data only on racist harassment and incitement to racial hatred.
