Anzac Highway Bus Lanes

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:25): I have a supplementary. If I understand the question and answers given, by what authority was the public told that notices would not be issued, that warnings would be given? Was the police commissioner's agreement sought before such an assurance was given?

The Hon. P. Malinauskas: Sorry, I'm not sure I follow what you are asking.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: I may have the facts wrong but I thought the people were told they would only get cautions.

The PRESIDENT: Do you want to ask the question again just to be clear?

The Hon. S.G. WADE: Is it the case that members of the public were assured that they would only get cautions, not expiation notices? If so, by what authority were those assurances given? In particular, was the police commissioner consulted before such an assurance was issued?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:26): Again, I am happy to repeat my earlier answer, that we are seeking a brief from SAPOL on this particular issue, and once that information comes to hand I will be more than happy to share it.
