Forensic Science SA

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (14:52): Supplementary: does the Attorney believe that Forensics SA is appropriately resourced from a staffing perspective?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:52): I thank the honourable member for her question. Certainly, there have been increases in resourcing over recent years. As I have said, there are hundreds of million of dollars being spent to increase Forensics SA's ability to do their job. What has impressed me, of the times I have spent at Forensics SA or at their yearly award ceremony, is just how well regarded the work they do is held not just around Australia but internationally.
