I have a supplementary question. Does the minister concede that, as at September 2004, every one of the State’s 14 policing districts were operating below their authorised strength? Mrs M.H. ROBERTS

I have no idea where the member obtained that information, but perhaps he might like to concede a 39 per cent increase in the police budget. The last budget of the previous Government provided $441 million for the Police Service; the last budget of the present Government provided $616 million, and the crime statistics in this State show the excellent results.
