South Australia Police

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:27): Supplementary arising from the minister's answer: is it correct that the Minister for Industrial Relations told the Minister for Police that he was not going to be changing the policy?

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! Wait one second. Give the minister time to think about it. A lot of the discussions are confidential. The honourable minister.

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:27): Thank you, Mr President. The Hon. Mr Lucas is someone who has a wealth of experience in this place, and I know that Mr Lucas has been around long enough to well know that the decisions that take place between cabinet colleagues, particularly within cabinet, are subject to cabinet in confidence.
