House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Coronavirus Coronavirus Mr ODENWALDER House of Assembly Elizabeth Coronavirus Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (15:02): My question is to the Minister for Police. Now that the minister has had 24 hours, has he met with the Police Association to brief them on the government's proposed new laws regarding the coronavirus, and what plans does he have to address their concerns? The Hon. C.L. WINGARD House of Assembly Gibson Minister for Police Minister for Recreation Coronavirus The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:02): I thank the member for the question and note my answer yesterday that I had not met with the Police Association or Mark Carroll, noting that my staff had spoken with him and the police commissioner had spoken with him. As we know, the bill is before the house and that is being consulted through. The police commissioner is working through the regulations of how this will work and the protocols in place. The Police Association will be taken along that journey. We know this is a very important piece of legislation that has come through very, very quickly. We appreciate the support of those opposite. If they are withdrawing their support, I think the police commissioner would like to know and so would the health commissioner. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! I would hate members to miss grievances. The Hon. C.L. WINGARD House of Assembly The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: But, as I said, that is being worked through, the process is being worked through and the protocols are being worked through. The Police Association will be included in that journey.
