I thank Hon Ray Halligan for some notice of this question. The Minister for Police and Emergency Services has not supplied an answer and has requested that the member put the question on notice. When I queried the minister on the reason for that, because I think it is quite a reasonable question, he informed me that there is some statistical information that will add to the value of the answer, and he is expecting an answer to the question tomorrow.
