As I told the member, when he gets a chance to explore his
new portfolio, learn more, get up to speed and appreciate the issues he is
raising, rather than just making it up, he will appreciate that there is an
instantaneous response to any alarm that goes off when it is detected that a
device is going to an exclusion zone or being removed. That is the way police
operate. There is 24/7 coverage from police and the Department of Justice. As
soon as there is an issue, they respond, they assign resources, and they go out
on location as quickly as they can.
The Speaker: Thank you, minister. Members, that
concludes question time. I make one observation: some of the opposition
questions were quite lengthy. There was a lot of preamble in there. If you
could pare that back in the future, that would be great.
