MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:53):</by>  I don't have any figures at hand in terms of the dollars being spent on legal action, but I am happy to take that on notice. In respect of the Hon. Ms Lensink's question around disciplinary arrangements, of course questions around the disciplining of police officers is a question and a matter entirely for the police commissioner. There is a suite of options available to the police commissioner when he contemplates the way officers should be disciplined as a result of particular incidents.</text>
