POLICE, WHYALLA

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning) (14:25): I seek leave to make a ministerial statement about Whyalla police.

Leave granted.

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: In question time yesterday the Hon. Terry Stephens claimed that it had been reported to him that Chief Inspector Quinn was being investigated for his comments in relation to an incident on the morning of 11 July 2008 involving two Whyalla police officers. Once again, the Hon. Terry Stephens is wrong. South Australia Police has advised me that the officer is not facing any investigation or any disciplinary action as a result of those remarks. I strongly urge the honourable member to check his facts in future before making any similar unfounded accusations in this place.
