DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:37): I have a supplementary question. In addition to the police training that the minister referred to, I also understand that the government was establishing an increased number of police officers to implement the orders. Could the minister take on notice how many of those additional police officer positions have been filled?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (14:37): Sorry, what was the question?

The Hon. S.G. WADE: My understanding was that there were going to be additional police officers allocated to LSAs to deal with the new orders, and I was hoping that the minister might take on notice how many of those positions have been filled.

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: I am happy to take that on notice and refer that to the relevant minister and bring back a response.
