South Australia Police

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): My question is to the Minister for Police. Given that the minister has indicated that he knew nothing about this case until he had a call from the reporter from The Advertiser, I think were his words, that is, within the last 48 hours, I'm assuming—

The SPEAKER: Can the deputy leader get to a question.

Ms CHAPMAN: Could the minister confirm whether anyone in his office had been briefed on this case, either by the current police commissioner or the former police commissioner, subsequent to his report on this matter and action on 4 March 2015?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:32): Could I just have that last part of the question again?

Ms CHAPMAN: Can you confirm whether anyone in your office has received advice of this case, either by the current police commissioner or former commissioner Burns, who imposed the action on this matter on 4 March 2015?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO: Thank you, Mr Speaker. To the best of my knowledge the answer is no.
