The N.T. Police also have one of those. There is a legitimate need for them to have something like that. (if the WA Police airwing have got themselves sorted out. Their record with the 310 was not good)
There is a huge area out there, and many nasty things happen way outback.
I once did a medivac and was told when en route that the patent and the nurse were barricaded inside the clinic, and people were on the roof, trying to get in. The patient had been stabbed, but he had killed the other man. The police had been called, but would take four hours to get there.
