Noise Management

Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (15:01): My question is to the Minister for Police. Minister, did the police commissioner authorise the Minister for Police's public announcement that STAR Group officers would be dispatched to respond to teenage parties in the southern suburbs?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:01): I thank the member for his question. I think I know what he is referring to and I think he may be misquoting.

Mr Odenwalder: I didn't quote anything.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: You may be misreferencing or misconstruing what was—

An honourable member interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I did not do any of that, minister.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: It is a fair point: if you are not quoting, it is argument and the question is invalid, but I will elaborate anyway. I think what the member is alluding to are some of the incidents down south. The police commissioner made very clear his instructions and the operational measures that he took. I conferred with those operational measures and outlined exactly what the police commissioner outlined that he was doing down south to deal with that situation.
