Police Disciplinary Tribunal

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (15:21): Supplementary: I think the Deputy Premier just suggested SACAT preferably. Can the police minister advise if he has had any stakeholder feedback on this matter and, in particular, whether any of it was in favour of the move from the Police Disciplinary Tribunal to SACAT?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations) (15:22): I will take that question, if I might. As I was trying to explain, the situation is that we are looking at many alternatives, but can I say, in general terms, there is a multiplicity of disciplinary tribunals and bodies around the place. There are some—

The SPEAKER: You mean there is a lot of them.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: Indeed, there are many. Some—

Mr GARDNER: My question was very specifically in relation to one tribunal, not the multiplicity, and specifically more than that, the stakeholder feedback that the Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services and Minister for Emergency Services has received in relation to this one tribunal.

The SPEAKER: Could the Deputy Premier hasten his approach to the target.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: As I was trying to explain, we have disciplinary jurisdictions within the Magistrates Court. We have disciplinary jurisdictions within the District Court. We have many individual disciplinary bodies floating around the place. The conversation the Premier has begun in a public way this week is to ask the obvious question: should we be one rather than many?
