Police Commissioner

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:09): A supplementary question: minister, are there any operational decisions that this police commissioner has made recently that the minister does not support?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order, sir: the leader has just asked the same question twice in a row. He doesn't get to do that.

The SPEAKER: I will hear the answer. Minister.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:10): Thank you, Mr Speaker. As I said in my previous answer to a very similar question, I have conversations with the police commissioner all the time. We talk about different matters of operation and policy. We have a very open dialogue and we talk through all these issues. It is a very, very professional relationship—
