Police Numbers

Mr TELFER (Flinders) (14:46): My question is to the Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services. Does the Ceduna Police Station have its full complement of officers? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr TELFER: There are ongoing concerns from my community in Ceduna about the level of crime and antisocial behaviours.

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services) (14:46): I will take some advice. I am not briefed on Ceduna as I have been more acutely on Port Augusta, but I think the same goes to my previous answer. The advice that I have from SAPOL is that there are particularly significant and ongoing surging of resources on an as-needs basis.

I appreciate the member, as the local member particularly concerned, using his advocacy for his Ceduna community. One of the first communities that I visited when I became minister, along with the Deputy Premier and the Attorney-General, was Ceduna. We met with community leaders in Ceduna around a raft of issues and a raft of wraparound issues. The work being undertaken from a variety of government agencies, including the liquor licensing commissioner, is ongoing. We will continue to look for advice from those particular agencies, but the numbers and establishment numbers in Ceduna I will take some advice on.
