Ms COOK House of Assembly Ms COOK: In the 2018-19 budget tabled in this house, there was a $4 million cut made to the crime prevention and safety grants. The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN House of Assembly Bragg Deputy Premier Attorney-General Minister for Planning and Local Government The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government) (14:32): Again, I thank the member for her question. She and others in the house I think agree that crime prevention is important, and we as a government of course, as I have indicated in a number of previous questions, are not only very interested in this area but also work with the local communities—Adelaide City Council in particular in relation to city matters—in relation to surveillance generally and support for protection services with the South Australian police force. Crime prevention is very important to us and we will continue to provide support for that purpose.
