Minister, I'm interested in inquiring how the failed war on drugs is going in Tasmania and how much police resourcing is allocated towards, for example, users of cannabis.
Regarding the Paul Reynolds matter, can you confirm on what date Tasmania Police stopped the professional standards investigation into Paul Reynolds?
Minister, government received the Weiss independent review into Paul Reynolds in June this year.
Minister, this is around WorkSafe. Are you confident that all government departments currently have processes in place to ensure compliance with work health and safety obligations of the PCBU, the person conducting a business or undertaking? Specifically, can you confirm how many work health and safety breaches there have been across Tasmania Police and the State Emergency Service in the last financial year, and the nature of those breaches?
How many people have been charged under the Police Offences Amendment (Workplace Protection) Act since it was passed in 2022?
The Motor Accident Insurance Board has historically funded Tasmania Police to provide full‑time taskforces across the state to assist with road safety strategies. Can we have confirmation that that funding is still incoming, and that it's still being used for that purpose?
Can you please confirm then that the Weiss review recommendations will be covered, all their work will be covered, all the funding will also definitely be covered for the Wiess review, even though, as you have just pointed out, it was going to be put in the Budget or it is put in the Budget through the commission of inquiry recommendations.
Minister, just a question in relation to the coronial inquest into Robert Bo Xu and Jarrod Davies. The recommendations in this report did cross a couple of portfolios. In those strictly relating to Police, are you able to outline the government's position on the recommendations and any progress on implementing them, specifically the following two:
The Weiss review made some important recommendations, including the establishment of a restorative engagement framework and scheme for victims and survivors, a framework to build engagement and trust between police and the community, the establishment of a victim management team. What progress has been made so far on each of those recommendations?
