Police Stations

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (15:07): A supplementary arising from the minister's answer: will the minister take on notice and report back to the house advising of the cost of reneging on all of the leases of the shopfront police stations, including McLaren Vale and Hallett Cove, that the government have allowed police to close?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:08): I have already articulated, I think quite thoroughly, on more than one occasion in this place the reasons behind the police commissioner making the decisions that he has. In the long term, some of these decisions will result in savings to the South Australian taxpayer. I think what's most important to South Australians is ensuring that SAPOL are allocating their resources in such a way that is the most efficient and also the most effective when it comes to combating crime. In the long term, if that also happens to save the South Australian taxpayer money, that is a good result.
