Drug Driving

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:39): Supplementary: I certainly will not detain the Hon. Kelly Vincent long. I just want a simple clarification. I understood the minister's answer to the first question. I think you interpreted it as the second question, which is the capacity of the technology to identify specific levels. The minister indicated that not only was SAPOL's technology not able to identify levels but that such technology was not available globally.

The Hon. P. Malinauskas: That's my advice.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: Yes, so I just confirm that advice. In relation to the second question, my understanding of the minister's answer was that SAPOL's technology did not differentiate. Is the minister aware of whether any such technology is available?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:40): The short answer to that question is no, I am not. However, if there are members of the parliament or the community at large who would like to point out that there is, I am more than happy to make those relevant inquiries.
