Police Mounted Operations Unit

Mr TELFER (Flinders) (14:28): My question is to the Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services. Did a SAPOL project team tour Morphettville yesterday and, if so, why?

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services) (14:29): I won't raise a point of order regarding an assertion of facts, but there was certainly no tour. What I can absolutely confirm is that there is no further news or advice today on any further additional sites than there was yesterday, and that is that the police Mounted Operations Unit has been confirmed at a site at Gepps Cross. That work is progressing—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The minister has the call.

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS: I might be able to give those opposite some advice. If they just took a little bit of a drive outside of their very flash—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for Morialta!

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS: —accommodation they are staying at while they are in the city for parliament.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for Morialta, you are warned for a final time. The minister has the call.

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS: As I was saying, those opposite would probably benefit from—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS: They have certainly taken advice to listen to morning radio; certainly change the dial and make sure they don't go anywhere—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for West Torrens.

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS: —and have their morning coffee some 10 minutes after the 8 o'clock news. But they would do well to jump in their car, drive 15 minutes north of the city to Gepps Cross and see the works that have already started on the Gepps Cross site. In a couple of weeks' time, they will be able to go out there again and see additional major works occurring. This isn't some revelation. This is common sense, and I would invite any member opposite to take that 15-minute drive out north, jump in their car and have a look.
