Transit Police

Mr PISONI (Unley) (14:56): Does the minister stand by the policy commitment made by the Premier in February 2014 that, 'We have boosted the number of transit police to 114'?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:57): As I have said now twice, to this chamber and repeatedly in the media, the government has made a commitment to increase the number of transit police. I am advised that we have made good that commitment. We have increased the number of funded positions. The member for Unley is desperately trying to engage in an argument about numbers, and I am not going to engage in that debate.

Mr PISONI: Point of order, sir: the minister does not speak for the member for Unley.

The SPEAKER: I was about to uphold a point of order, but it did not come in the form of a point of order.
