South Australia Police

The Hon. A.L. McLACHLAN (14:37): A supplementary: will the minister assure the house that he will seek the comfort of the police commissioner, rather than direction, that their privacy mechanisms are appropriate, having regard to the problems in Health?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:38): I thank the honourable member for his supplementary question on my supplementary answer. Nevertheless, the honourable member should have complete confidence in the fact that we in South Australia are very ably led by a professional police commissioner who is duly paying attention to all issues that are current. He should also take confidence in the fact that I, on a regular basis, talk to the police commissioner about a range of topical issues.

Personally I will not be a police minister who attempts to instruct or intervene in what are reasonable police operations. Again, I refer to my original answer, which is that the South Australian public should have total confidence in the fact that the South Australian police force seeks to implement all appropriate privacy measures, as people would reasonably expect.
