Police Station Opening Hours

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:46): Supplementary question: will the minister instruct the police commissioner to implement Liberal Party policy and instruct him to open up those police station additional hours?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:46): As I have said many times before—and I will say it again—the police commissioner does handle all operational matters, and that is for the police commissioner to do. We have put our policies forward. We are talking through them with the police commissioner, and we will deliver those, as we have committed to doing. We will have those conversations—they will be ongoing conversations—and we will get the best outcomes for our community. That's what we are focused on.

Mr Malinauskas interjecting:

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: Please take a seat; you don't need to get up just yet. That is what we are focused on. That is what we will deliver. We have put our policies out very, very clearly. On 17 March—in case you are not aware—the people of South Australia voted, and they voted for this government to deliver on their policies. That is what they wanted, that is what they put forward and that is what they want.

You may want to know the name of every person that voted or every person that worked on my staff. What you need to be focused on is that we are a team on this side that will deliver for the people of South Australia. That's what we are here to do. Our policies are very clear. They are up on the website, they have been outlined, they are there. We will deliver them, and you can keep following the bouncing ball and watch them be delivered.
