POLICE APPOINTMENTS

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:44): Thank you, Madam Speaker, and your judgement is correct as usual. My question is to the Minister for Police. Can the minister confirm that she has disputed the recommendation of the police commissioner over the appointment of a new deputy commissioner?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:44): Absolutely not.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!
