Mr Speaker - Mr House: Weren’t you listening to the last answer? Those supplementary questions are given to you and you simply parrot them out. Dr Gallop: Come on, Mr Speaker, call him to order. The SPEAKER: Order! I am about to chastise the Minister for Primary Industry for interjecting. However, I will not take instructions from the Leader of the Opposition. Mr PRINCE: I guarantee the Police Service will not experience any cut to its $440m budget this financial year. I also guarantee that it will spend every dollar of the budget as well as it has spent the money it has been given since we have been in government. It will continue to provide the best possible service to all the people in this State, wherever they live.
