          <by role="member" id="543">Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (14:40):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Police. Can the minister advise how often Aboriginal cultural training is offered to members of the police force, other than the brief training provided to cadets, and how often and in what manner are serving police officers and SAPOL staff surveyed on their understanding and experience of racism?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4843">The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:41):</by>  I thank the member for her question. I note that it is an operational question, so I will follow that up with the police commissioner and get back to her with an answer. I know there was an equal opportunity report done a couple of years ago, and out the back of that, discrimination was very much looked at and the commissioner took that on board.</text>
        <text id="20191204163b751b2c134b1d90000654">A number of pieces of work were done around all forms of discrimination within the police force and a number of updates were run through the police force to make sure that police were very much aware. The entire force was aware of all the points that she raises. As to the specific detail that she refers to, I don't have that information, but I will seek an answer from the commissioner and get a response for the member.</text>
