Police Commissioner

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:08): My question is to the Minister for Police. Given that the Premier has indicated his full confidence in the police commissioner, why is it necessary for the government to appoint a retired judge or senior lawyer to undertake a review of all aspects of police work?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:08): I thank the member for his question. This is a policy we took to the election. We took a suite of policies to the election that the South Australian people voted for. I have had a number of meetings with the police commissioner and talked through areas that he thinks can be improved, things we can work on, things we can explore, and that is what we are going to do with this policy.

The SPEAKER: Supplementary from the leader.

Mr MALINAUSKAS: No, it's a new question.
