Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Adelaide COP31 Adelaide COP31 The Hon. T.A. FRANKS Legislative Council Adelaide COP31 The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (16:06): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before addressing a question to the Leader of the Government, representing the Premier, on COP31. Leave granted. The Hon. T.A. FRANKS Legislative Council The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: In Scotland for the Glasgow COP, while the police force in Glasgow numbered one of the largest in that nation, they had to bring in 7,000 officers, as well as dogs, horses and vehicles, from other parts of that country to mount what was the biggest police operation they had experienced. We know that this government has a projection of some 5,000 South Australian police well into the future. How does the South Australian government intend to ensure that they have the police force required to host a COP? The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector Special Minister of State The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (16:07): I thank the honourable member for her question. I do know that this is something that the police commissioner has for some time been turning his mind to. I will gladly take the questions on notice and refer them. I suspect the police minister may be able to provide greater and better input than the Premier, but I will certainly refer them to the appropriate minister or ministers and bring back the honourable member a response.
