POLICE RESOURCES

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:35): I have a supplementary question. At what time yesterday did the minister become aware that the Premier had announced an overhaul of the Police Complaints Authority?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning) (14:35): Again, the honourable member has got it wrong. I spoke to the Premier before question time yesterday and, of course, he had also spoken with the Attorney-General, so I was well aware of what his announcement was. In my answer yesterday I indicated that we always pay close attention to the considerations of the Coroner.
