South Australia Police

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (14:46): Will there be any costs—

The Hon. D.C. van Holst Pellekaan: Who is the question for?

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: It's for the Minister for Police, for the Minister for Energy's benefit.

The SPEAKER: The member for Lee has the call. Let's get on with it.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: My question is to the Minister for Police. Will there be any costs to event organisers for the policing effort at the Adelaide 500?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:46): I thank the member for the question. I can see where he is going here. He probably is going to tick through every event that could possibly be on in South Australia. What I do want to let the member know, if he wants to listen—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Cheltenham is warned.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: I will let the member know—as I think I have already outlined but just to reiterate—this is not in place until next year, so there will be consultations through this process, as I have outlined in my previous answers as to how that will come about and what the reasoning will be. But he may also want to perhaps look into New South Wales, where I think the Labor government introduced a very similar scheme. We will be looking at what they have done interstate and what the other states and jurisdictions are doing and rolling out a similar scheme here.
