MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:26):</by>  It would be entirely a reasonable question and I thank the honourable member for it. Like I said, I have had multiple meetings with the members and the leaders of the Police Association of South Australia and, as one would reasonably expect any minister to do, I do speak to my cabinet colleagues when they raise issues that pertain to their portfolios, so I have had discussions with the Attorney-General. But, as it stands, the return-to-work legislation provides for a whole range of entitlements to police officers, and that remains the case and that is currently the government's policy.</text>
