Police Civilianisation

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:47): Supplementary: could I also ask the minister to provide some data in terms of other savings that might have been made—for example, whether or not the civil prosecutors have a higher or lower propensity for cases to proceed—and any success data?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:47): I haven't been advised, to the best of my recollection, about any impediments that civil prosecutors within SAPOL would have in terms of being able to proceed matters any further than an ordinary sworn officer working within prosecutions would.
