WA Police Minister Endangers Public Safety & Property
WA Police Minister Endangers Public Safety & Property What a massive bellend.
The Western Australian Minister for Police, Paul Papalia, must be one of the most gun hating people in Australia.
Not happy with having and backing the worst ideas when it comes to gun laws in Australia, attacking and penalising legal, law abiding gun owners, he then decided to release maps to the media that showed where gun owners locations were in Western Australia.
Despite his claims that the maps couldn’t be used to identify locations of said gun owners, the maps were easily reverse engineered using a open source software and apparently showed exactly where every gun owner was.
During an FOI request the WA Police have responded to the claim by Papalia, that they didn’t show addresses and wouldn’t endanger anyone. The response from WAPOL didn’t exactly backup Papalia’s claims. They stated
- “that in the wrong hands“
- the maps could be used “to locate firearms“, and that
- this was a “serious concern” for public safety and the security of people’s property.
If this was someone releasing registered owners of gold or diamonds then Papalia would have been made to resign or be fired. Because it is related to guns this guy gets to skate along without any repercussions.
Where is the backlash? This is a clear case of endangering the public’s health and safety as well as private property with as WAPOL have admitted increasing risk of home invasion and theft.
If you live in WA you should be calling for his resignation and get someone in to the job who might actually have some common sense and be less of a psychopath when dealing with gun owners.
Fire Papalia.
