Crime Stoppers SA

Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (15:37): No, a new question, sir. My question is to the Minister for Police once again. Is the minister aware that the $960,000 funding cut to Crime Stoppers will impact on programs they deliver to help solve and reduce crime?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order, sir: the question suggested an alleged fact and is out of order.

The SPEAKER: Would the member for Elizabeth like to rephrase the question in a way that doesn't allege?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I will listen to the question. Members on my right, please be quiet.

Mr ODENWALDER: Is the minister aware that funding cuts to Crime Stoppers—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Mr ODENWALDER: How is it hypothetical?

The SPEAKER: Order! I will listen to the question.

Mr ODENWALDER: Is the minister aware of public statements by Crime Stoppers that cuts to their funding will impact on programs they deliver to help solve and reduce crime?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:38): I thank the member. I can't be any clearer and I will say it one more time. Under the previous government, they got no funding. Under this government, the same.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: How that could be a cut, I do not know. They are getting the same service as they got under the previous government and they are getting the same services under this government. I can't be any clearer.

The SPEAKER: Before I call the member for King, I remind the member for West Torrens that he is on two warnings and, as the father of the house, I do give him great scope most days. Member for King.
