Police Protection Vests

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:43): My question is to the Minister for Police. How many of the state's 4,700 officers will receive stab-proof vests under your trial?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:43): We will be trialling a smaller amount to trial the vests, as we said, in the rollout for the procurement of the vests. That will be determined between myself and the police commissioner as we go through the process. We have made it abundantly clear that we are trialling these vests before we buy them. We will be getting the right vests for the right locations and the right areas of South Australia. We will be trialling the vests and then we will be delivering the process. You guys didn't deliver them: we will.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Before I call the leader, the member for West Torrens is now on two warnings, the member for Lee is on two warnings, the deputy leader is on a warning. If they continue, they will be departing the chamber under sessional and standing orders.
