South Australia Police

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:39): Is the minister suggesting—

The Hon. K.J. Maher: Is this a supplementary? Is this a new question?

The Hon. S.G. WADE: Yes, it's supplementary.

The PRESIDENT: Supplementary.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: Thanks, Mr President, I'm glad to see that we've only got one chair and not two. Does the minister consider the laws that this parliament has enforced that apply to the police are an inappropriate invasion of the separation of powers?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: Mr President, point of order. I have to say that I was listening very closely to the original question and answer. The Hon. Mr Wade is leading some loyally tricky approach to interrogation of the minister, taking us down a whole new pathway that has no bearing on the original answer, and that's how supplementaries are held in this place. If he wants to ask another question, let him get up and do so when another Liberal question comes up.

The PRESIDENT: I understand, Mr Wade, that the Minister for Police has made it quite clear that he has a passionate belief that the police will be in charge of operational matters. So, I don't think he could be more clear than that. The Hon. Mr Lucas.
