The SPEAKER: Minister. Have you done that?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:31): I thank the leader for his question. We back police. Police are there to do this job, and they have been doing an outstanding job.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: Their trigger response has been exceptional. I outline again to the house: the action they are taking is good.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: Those on that side may not back police. They may doubt police—we don't. We back police.
