PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister Assisting the Minister for Health, Minister Assisting the Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:16):</by>  I think that is slightly connected to the question that was asked before that I have already taken on notice, but I'm happy to further add to that answer in regard to the 24-hour specific police stations, in particular. We know that a number of them are busy in terms of the work they do and the service they provide to the community, and I am sure that with the extra resources this government is investing in our police that the police commissioner has the tools that he needs to ensure that they are appropriately resourced.</text>
