          <by role="member" id="4342">Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (14:52):</by>  My question is for the Minister for Police. Minister, given that you have told the media that the government is considering closing police stations, would you please tell this house which police stations are being considered as part of your budget cuts?</text>

O'BRIEN (Napier—Minister for Finance, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:52):</by>  It was a great pleasure to open the new police facility in Murray Bridge—an investment that was very much welcomed by the member for Hammond, and I was pleased to have him present at the opening. All matters relating to budget savings as they relate to SAPOL will be dealt with within the budget-setting process, and I am not going to get into the position of ruling things in or ruling them out because it would be a never-ending process and would not ultimately give clarity or the most desirous ultimate outcome.</text>
