Police Commissioner Protocol

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:54): Supplementary: given the Premier's almost unprecedented commitment to instruct the police commissioner—

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order: contrary to standing order 97 by having argument and it is also not a supplementary question.

The SPEAKER: I will hear the point of order. Would the leader like to amend the supplementary so that it does not contain any potential argument?

Mr MALINAUSKAS: Is the police minister aware of the last time section 8 of the Police Act was enforced?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:55): No, I can't say that I have looked over section 8 to that nth degree. What I can say to the leader—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The leader is on two warnings. Leader, you are on two warnings. Minister.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: What I can say is, as I have said in layman's terms so that people can understand it, I am not here to instruct the police commissioner. If the leader wants to listen again and clear out his ears, I have said that I am not going to instruct the police commissioner. I will sit down and negotiate with the police commissioner. We have made our election policies abundantly clear. I will sit down with the police commissioner, work through our election commitments and negotiate right throughout the act whatever is needed and we will deliver on our commitments.
