The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:23): Supplementary, Mr President.

The PRESIDENT: Does it arise from his answer? If you are going to ask the same question, there is no point in asking. But if it is arising out of his answer, go for it.

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: Will the minister undertake, given the conflict in the statements, to now contact SA Police and bring back urgently, this afternoon, a clarification of this particular official advisory from SA Police News so that we can be advised officially from SA Police whether or not the information they gave yesterday to all South Australians was accurate or not?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:23): The only undertaking that I am willing to make is to make sure that South Australians get the best possible service they can from this government, by ensuring that we are remaining calm, not playing word games with people, and getting the information that we receive out there as quickly as possible, which is precisely what we have been doing.
