South Australia Police

The Hon. A.L. McLACHLAN (14:37): A question arising out of the answer from the minister: has the minister given any direction to the police commissioner to review their compliance systems in relation to privacy, having regard to the Minister for Health's statement?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:37): Again, I thank the honourable member for his question. Of course, the honourable member would be aware of the fact that it is not my place, nor would it be appropriate for me, to be directing or issuing instructions to the police commissioner on how to perform their functions. The honourable member will be pleased to know that I regularly meet with the police commissioner and we chat about a whole range of topical issues, as is appropriate from time to time, and I have absolute confidence that the police commissioner is fulfilling his duties and obligations, as the public would reasonably expect.
