That was pretty funny!
In many cases, there is a requirement for work to be done on
police stations to ensure that we have the capacity and the resources to
accommodate the officers in their work spaces, and to accommodate the
additional equipment that they require and
the many pieces of equipment delivered by the former police minister, such as
body armour and the like. A lot of
work is going into accommodating the extra officers. As is normally the
practice, the commissioner will ensure that he has what he needs so that
officers are delivered where they are needed.
The SPEAKER : I call the member for Nedlands, with her
first question. Thank you.
