          <by role="member" id="5084">The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:21):</by>  The death of Mr Morrison in custody, like any death in custody, is a tragedy. However, like any other death in custody, Mr Morrison's passing does automatically initiate a Coroner's inquiry. SAPOL, Major Crime, I am advised, remain actively investigating the incident, so Major Crime is conducting an investigation of the incident and there will be a coronial inquiry in due course.</text>
        <text id="20170301a83d12e4433b41f6b0000165">My advice is that the Department for Correctional Services is cooperating fully with both SAPOL, Major Crime, and the subsequent coronial inquiry. An internal investigation remains underway, I am advised, and the outcome of that will be known in due course. But the principal inquiry that is being undertaken, of course, is the one being conducted by SAPOL, Major Crime.</text>
        <text id="20170301a83d12e4433b41f6b0000166">We expect the coronial inquiry to commence once Major Crime has conducted their inquiry. Presumably, all CCTV footage that is relevant to the matter has been obtained by SAPOL, Major Crime, to assist them in the conduct of their inquiry. Regarding whether or not officers involved have been suspended, I am happy to take that question on notice and get that information back to the honourable member as soon as possible.</text>
