Drug Driving

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (14:56): Supplementary question: minister, I recently asked if you could tell the house the process by which police officers conduct drug driving tests and you said you would come back with an answer. Do you understand or do you know now how that process takes place and how many police vehicles can, in fact, drug test?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:57): Yes, I think I articulated in that initial answer on my feet the basics of the process in terms of what happens roadside. I think, from recollection, the Hon. Mr Stephens, that I took on notice the question regarding the precise number of vehicles in terms of whether or not they have that equipment on board. I stand by that request to take it on notice. As soon as that information becomes available, I will endeavour to get back to the house as reasonably as I can, as I always do with such questions.
