The answer is accurate as at 21 September, the date on which it was provided. I imagine a change has occurred since then. I thank the member for some notice of the question. (1) Six hundred and sixty eight. (2) I table the information prepared by the Department for Planning and Infrastructure that shows the number of life disqualifications by postcode area. I am sure members are relieved that I will table it rather than read it. (3) The Department for Planning and Infrastructure does not have this information. The question should be referred to the minister representing the Minister for Police and Emergency Services. [See paper No 2795.]
