          <by role="member" id="3121">Mr PENGILLY (Finniss) (14:43):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Police. What is the future of the Goolwa Police Station? Is the station going to be closed? Will police staff be moved to the Victor Harbor Police Station?</text>
        <text id="20090514c3dd343b8e674fa2b0000531">Goolwa residents have discovered that the Goolwa Police Station is to be closed sometime during the next financial year and that those officers are to be relocated to and will operate from the Victor Harbor Police Station. They are concerned that the 7,000 residents in Goolwa will be exposed to increased crime and reduced policing services.</text>

          <by role="member" id="636">The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Police, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:43):</by>  I need to check the detail of the member's question, and I will do that with the commissioner and come back to the house. The other day, I had a question from the member for Unley about the Malvern Police Station. I have checked on this, and I have been advised that no decision has been made in relation to changes to opening hours. However, as to the detail that has been asked for by the member, I will come back to the house.</text>
