The SPEAKER: The leader is warned, the member for Hammond is also warned, the Minister for Transport is called to order and the member for West Torrens is warned.

The SPEAKER: I might do that. Minister.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: Thank you, Mr Speaker. As I outlined yesterday, the fixed-wing aircraft is an issue before ICAC. We know that. Whilst this is going on, the police commissioner has got a private company in to run the fixed-wing aircraft. He is very happy and satisfied with that. I will continue to have conversations with him, but that's how it is working.
