Police Staffing

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:44): Supplementary: after that diatribe I would actually like an answer. Can the minister confirm or rule out that up to 27 civilians in police stations in the metropolitan area of Adelaide are about to lose their jobs—yes or no?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:45): I can confirm that the overwhelming feedback I have had from the policing community is nothing but gratitude and support for this state government's policing policy to ensure there are more operational, active sworn police officers out on the beat.
