Is a site at Morphettville being considered as a location for relocating any police units and, if so, what units? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.</text>

SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services) (14:35):</by>  I have the highest of respect for all trade union leaders, something that I would never accuse those opposite of ever muttering. As much respect as I have for the President of PASA, he doesn't speak for the government when he says 'we'. 'We' may actually be somebody else.</text>
        <text id="20230927b954ab28a2bc4009b0000554">The member surmised in asking the question the actual answer and that is that there is nothing for sale at Morphettville. There is no explanation that's occurring at Morphettville. There is nothing to update the house on. As I said in my previous answer, I am not sure if the member was listening, but the Mounted Operations Unit and the Dog Operations Unit, both of which provide wonderful service to our community, will be very soon equipped with brand-new, state-of-the-art, fit-for-purpose facilities at Gepps Cross.</text>
