OPERATION DISARM

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (14:26): My supplementary question is: given that the Attorney-General has not disputed the figures that I gave, is he asserting, then, that somehow the rules have changed, that the safety of police entering homes to seize illegal firearms, or make reports or—

The SPEAKER: Yes, we've got the question. The Attorney-General.

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:27): Mr Speaker, I did not agree or disagree with the honourable member's figures because I do not know where he got them from—

The Hon. J.M. Rankine: David Pisoni.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. J.R. RAU: It wouldn't be the first time in this house where numbers of variable veracity have been used as part and parcel of the question, although I accuse the honourable member of nothing in that regard. I do not know where his sources come from. I do know that I spoke to the Deputy Commissioner of Police about an hour ago, and he told me that the effect of this campaign has been to double—double—the amount of reported information from the public, through Crime Stoppers, about illegal weapons, and he regards this as a great success for SAPOL, and they are looking forward to more.

The SPEAKER: I heard the Minister for Education's insulting remark to the member for Unley, and I call her to order, and I also warn the deputy leader for the first time. The Leader of the Opposition.
