Mr VATSKALIS - 2012-11-29
We have been informed that the police station at Warruwi has been closed. Is it true? What are the policing plans for this community and have you, as Police minister, made the local member aware of them? What are the police cuts under the mini-budget?
ANSWER
I will take the first part of that on notice, but the second part of it, I think you may ...
Ms Lawrie: No, it is shut.
Madam SPEAKER: Opposition Leader, you are on a warning.
Mr MILLS: Regarding the second part of the question, you must have been out of the Territory when there was an election campaign on because we made a very clear commitment to the Territory community that because of the declining levels of community safety we would increase the number of police to provide frontline service protection for the Territory community because it was required. The details of that, shadow minister, will be provided in the mini-budget.
