Knife Laws

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:34): Supplementary: is the Attorney-General risking the safety of South Australians by delaying laws of this nature?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:34): Absolutely not. What we are doing is making laws in a thorough, considered way to protect South Australians as much as possible. If the honourable member really thinks that all there is to do about knife crime is to raise the age, then I think South Australians will be deeply disappointed at their attitude to protecting them.
