Hon POTO WILLIAMS: I disagree with the way that member has characterised this particular issue. We have had to build the Police from the base that the National Party left us, with frozen funding and police numbers dropping. In order for us to be successful and supporting the Police, we need to give them the tools and the resources that they need to do: $450 million worth of increased funding and, by the middle of next year, 1,800 more cops.
