TAXI COUNCIL

259 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (21 October 2008). Why is there no police officer on either the South Australian Taxi Council or the Premier's Taxi Council?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Energy): I am advised:

The South Australian Taxi Council is a privately incorporated association and as such, the government does not determine its membership.

South Australia Police has been invited to meetings of the Premier's Taxi Council where matters of safety and security have been discussed and require police input. Neither the taxi industry or South Australia Police have requested ongoing representation by the South Australian Police on the Premier's Taxi Council.
