WINGARD House of Assembly Gibson Minister for Police Minister for Recreation Police Tasers The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:35): I don't have the exact number in front of me. I will have to take that on notice and get the number from whoever is in charge of those operational matters. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. C.L. WINGARD House of Assembly The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: Again to the shadow minister, just to make him aware, the police commissioner makes decisions on operational matters. As much as you are out there pushing operational matters and saying that you want to direct police, my advice would be that you don't do that.
