SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services) (14:46):</by>  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.</text>

        <text id="2023051776f839bda393409590000627">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.</text>
