House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time South Australia Police South Australia Police Mr GARDNER House of Assembly Morialta South Australia Police Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (14:25): Supplementary: given that the minister identifies that this is a matter for the commissioner to deal with, the case in question having been dealt with by the previous police commissioner, will the police minister, if he has not already, seek a meeting with the new police commissioner to discuss this matter and request a review? The Hon. A. PICCOLO House of Assembly Light Minister for Disabilities Minister for Police Minister for Correctional Services Minister for Emergency Services Minister for Road Safety South Australia Police The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:25): As I have just said, I have the utmost confidence in the police to handle those matters. As I have said to the inquiry I received, I thought the comments made by the officer were inappropriate and certainly not something I would endorse. If I was to then seek to second-guess what a commissioner should do in the future, I would be interfering with his role as a commissioner of police to handle his staff. Certainly, if there are matters that the commissioner thinks he needs to bring to my attention, he will do so.
