Police Station Opening Hours

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:29): I thank the member for his question. Again, I ask him to have a listen to my ministerial statement. I know that he needed to clean out his ears, but we made it very clear that we will be delivering on our election commitments.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: Yes, sir.

The SPEAKER: The minister has finished. The member for Kavel has the call.
