Police Protection Vests

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:44): My question is to the Minister for Police. Given the police minister has a policy of a trial for stab-proof vests, can he articulate how many vests he suspects will be used under that trial?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The minister will be heard in silence. The Minister for Police.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:45): I thank the leader for his question. That will be determined by the police commissioner and myself as we roll out the different vests that we decide, because what we are going to do is look at a few different vests to get the right vest for South Australia.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: So we might try a few more of one or a few less of the other—

The Hon. S.S. Marshall interjecting:

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: —just to explain it.

The SPEAKER: Premier!

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: What I do want to put on the record and clarify is that on that side you trialled none.
