Firing Range Safety

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:53): Supplementary: will there be any disciplinary action taken against the particular officers who were found to be obstructive of Marksman installing tethering when they wanted to, and how much has been spent on legal action against Marksman to date?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:53): I don't have any figures at hand in terms of the dollars being spent on legal action, but I am happy to take that on notice. In respect of the Hon. Ms Lensink's question around disciplinary arrangements, of course questions around the disciplining of police officers is a question and a matter entirely for the police commissioner. There is a suite of options available to the police commissioner when he contemplates the way officers should be disciplined as a result of particular incidents.

I am satisfied, and continue to receive briefs on this particular issue, that SAPOL is doing everything that we would reasonably expect them to be doing to ensure that this particular coronial inquiry, along with every other one, in turn informs an improvement to their practices, where appropriate.
