          <by role="member" id="4343">Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (15:25):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Police. In relation to all the police stations facing closure—which were opened in the first place as a result of election commitments—and the police commissioner identified four, what assurances did the government secure from SA Police that the stations could or would be maintained into the future before promising their establishment to the people of South Australia?</text>

PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:25):</by>  I thank the member for his question. At the end of the day the management of the resources of police is up to the commissioner. He will decide the best use of the resources, and I do not seek to interfere in that.</text>
