ACIL Allen evaluation
236. Hon Phil Twiss to
the minister representing the Minister for Police:
I refer to ACIL
Allen's evaluation of the Western Australia Police Force countering violent
extremism program, which failed to prevent a Perth teenager from carrying out a
terrorist attack in Willetton in 2024.
(1) Why has the government refused to
publicly release the full findings of the evaluation?
(2) Why is WA police already advertising
a tender for a second evaluation program?
(3) What was the total cost of the ACIL
Allen evaluation?
(4) Will the government commit to
releasing the full results of the second evaluation?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question. The following answer has been
provided by the Minister for Police.
(1) The countering violent extremism program
has multiple stakeholders and contains sensitive information that needs to be
considered in the context of a potential coronal inquest into the 2024
Willetton incident.
(2) There is no current tender for a
second evaluation of the CVE program.
(3) The total cost is $159,830.
(4) Not applicable.
