National Ice Taskforce

Mr DULUK (Davenport) (15:11): My question is to the Minister for Police. Minister, what participation has the South Australian government had with the National Ice Taskforce?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:11): The South Australian police have been present at the various hearings which have been held in South Australia, and that was something which the police did off their own bat, actually. Until recent times, the actual national task force did very little engagement. We actually advised them that we were quite keen to be engaged in the process and I understand that has changed but, in terms of that, our police are very supportive and provide information and support where they can. What I can say is that the federal task force, like I said, in the early stages, would literally rock up and very few people knew they were rocking up, but I understand we have remedied that.

The SPEAKER: Supplementary, member for Davenport.
