Police Recruitment

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (14:57): My question is to the Minister for Police. Is the government on track to meet its revised promise to recruit 300 additional police officers by 2017-18?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:57): I thank the honourable member for his question. The most recent advice is that we are on track but I will get up-to-date figures because it has been some time since I received the last advice.
