POLICE STATIONS, NEW

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (15:01): As a supplementary question, given that the minister is talking about resourcing police, is it true that officers who relieve in the APY lands are not provided with bush uniforms and must buy their own, even if they are going for a one-week stint?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning) (15:02): I said that the Liberals solved the problems in the APY lands by not having any police at all. We have put police back on the APY lands, and that is why some of the disgraceful behaviour that has been going on there has been resolved. I am happy to stand on the record of this government on police any day and compare it with that of members opposite.
