Police Recruitment

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (14:32): My question is again to the Minister for Police. By what measure will there be 300 more police on our streets as was promised to the people of South Australia at the last two elections? In 2010, there were 4,367 sworn police officers. SAPOL says that there will be 4,421 in 2017-18 at the end of the term of the promise—that is just 54 more—and you promised 313.

Mr Knoll interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Schubert is warned a second and final time.

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:33): I have nothing to add to my earlier answers.
