South Australia Police

Mr TELFER (Flinders) (14:31): My question is to the Minister for Police. Is the government taking action to ensure that all SAPOL employees are afforded a safe and inclusive workplace? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr TELFER: The media has reported today that a SAPOL officer identifies as a cat. SA Police indicated that they were not aware of anyone who identifies as a 'furry', and it is incumbent on the agency to ensure that appropriate policies and support structures are in place to support all employees.

The Hon. D.R. CREGAN (Kavel—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Special Minister of State) (14:32): I thank the member for Flinders for his question. I have been advised that SAPOL are not aware of any person who identifies in the terms that the member for Flinders has described. As well, I add that operational and employment matters are entirely a matter for South Australia Police.
