Oakden Mental Health Facility

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:23): Supplementary: have you or your staff briefed the Minister for Mental Health or is it SAPOL that has briefed the Minister for Mental Health?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:24): Usual procedure would be for SAPOL to brief me, as Minister for Police. Naturally, I seek advice from SAPOL on various subjects about the appropriateness of me sharing that to ensure that due process is followed, but the usual process would be for SAPOL to brief me and then I in turn pass on that information to the relevant minister, if indeed there is an appropriateness or it is necessary.
