Police Stations

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (14:47): Supplementary: why didn't the government indicate during the estimates process, when asked about whether there would be any further police station closures in addition to the eight police stations the government has closed this year, that further cutbacks were being considered as well?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:47): I thank the honourable member for his question. As I've said on a number of occasions, those matters are operational matters. The ones which were dealt with at estimates were the ones which came to my advice. Those matters are still being discussed at an operational level within police, so there is no advice to me on that about which station.
