Just did abit of searching on Airliners.net - and found this awsome pic - there's only one so far in the database, but when I go flying again - as the WAPOL hanger2 is located right next door - will try and grab some pics.
Looks awsome though.

looks good
but i think the money wouldve been far better spent on a new polair instead of a chariot for the commisioner

This is one of two aircraft recently bought by WAPOL for that task - rapid deployment. Not sure where the other is based - Karratha?
