CBD Crime and Antisocial Behaviour

Mr TELFER (Flinders) (14:51): Thank you to the Minister for Police. Supplementary: did the minister intervene to direct SAPOL to provide additional resources and, if so, when?

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services) (14:51): I would give the member advice to read the Police Act and that would be very clear in his mind then around the ability for ministers of police to direct the statutorily independent police. If he hasn't read it—I know he hasn't read the budget papers—he should probably read the Police Act as well. This has been an ongoing matter of discussion between myself and the broader government. This isn't one agency that is charged with this. It is a matter that has the full attention of government, but my attention and my discussions with police have been extensive and will continue.
