LUCAS (14:56):</by>  Supplementary question arising out of the minister's answer: prior to the release of the budget, did the minister receive any advice that the decision that he says he jointly took with the police commissioner would assist the police commissioner and SAPOL in meeting their budget targets?</text>

MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:56):</by>  I am not at liberty to reveal any cabinet in confidence documents that come to my attention. The figures in respect to the budget, as I have already previously answered, are available for all and sundry to see. The police commissioner and I regularly talk about his budget to make sure that it is on track, and I've got to say that SAPOL has an outstanding record when it comes to keeping within budget</text>
