POLICE STATIONS, NEW

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (15:00): As a supplementary question, given that the minister says that the police have never been better resourced, will he explain why the police have still not been issued with their own raincoats?

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning) (15:01): Under the Liberals the police will get raincoats, but they won't get police stations, they won't get planes and they won't get boats!

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Mr Stephens, I think, is looking at umbrellas!
