MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:25):</by>  That question is specifically regarding SAPOL's contribution to that exercise. What I am happy to share with the honourable member and, again, the chamber more generally, is the fact that SAPOL has already passed on statistics to the Attorney-General regarding that discussion paper.</text>
        <text id="20160623130dcaca5712433c80000073">So SAPOL has made a contribution to that effort. In regard to all of its contents, there are some that SAPOL has already shared publicly, and I am happy to refer to some of those statistics, and I already have, but I am happy to continue to reiterate those, if that helps. SAPOL has provided a set of detailed statistics to the discussion paper and the exercise. That is currently subject to cabinet in-confidence, but I am sure, in due course, as that discussion paper is finalised and released, more information will become public, as it is appropriate to do so.</text>
