Drug Driving

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (14:57): Can the minister confirm: does that mean that each patrol car has the ability, if they pull someone over, to conduct the oral test as a first step or do they still have to have a specific drug-testing unit before they can test for drugs in drivers?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:58): I will have to take that question on notice, as to whether or not every patrol vehicle has that initial oral test. I am not completely certain about that but I am more than happy to take that on notice and come back to the honourable member.
