Legislative Council Fifty-Second Parliament, First Session (52-1) 52 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Police Attendance Procedure POLICE ATTENDANCE PROCEDURE The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition POLICE ATTENDANCE PROCEDURE The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:27): A supplementary question: will the minister take my questions to the Minister for Police and bring back an answer, rather than trying to fob it off in this pathetic manner? The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister Assisting the Premier in Public Sector Management POLICE ATTENDANCE PROCEDURE The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister Assisting the Premier in Public Sector Management) (14:27): I am quite happy to do that, but I can imagine what the answer will be from the Minister for Police; it will be, 'Read my statement.' Not only is there an investigation into that matter going on but also, in addition to that, I understand from the media, arrests have been made and there may well be matters relevant to subsequent trials. The contents of such matters might well be subject to those proceedings, so I think the sensible thing for members to do—and I know most people in this house are sensible—will be to await the investigation. It is appropriate that there is an investigation; the minister is doing his job in that respect; and when we get the investigation, as I said, it will clarify what the current policies are and, if there are deficiencies, how they could be rectified.
