          <by role="member" id="5084">Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:45):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Police. What advice has the minister or his office received from SAPOL or the police commissioner regarding the impact on front-line policing as a result of extended operating hours at the Henley Beach, Norwood and Glenelg police stations?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4843">The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:45):</by>  I thank the leader for the question. I have had a number of meetings with SAPOL since coming into this role and also PASA and other members of the SAPOL organisation. I have spoken to the police commissioner and the deputy commissioner about all of our election commitments. We are working through them one at a time. We've discussed police station opening hours, and that's something that we will continue to work through.</text>
        <text id="2018050816ebbfb8fb464491b0000387">We made a commitment in our election policy around three police stations. Fundamentally, what the police commissioner and I are very, very focused on is keeping the people of South Australia safe. That is the number one process we have, the number one thing we are engaged with, and we are talking through all these issues with the police commissioner. As I said before, we have made all these commitments, we will deliver on these commitments, and we will continue the conversation to make sure that South Australian people are kept safe, as I outlined.</text>
