MR SPEAKER: Order!

MR CORBELL: Of course, that is very disappointing because this government delivers on community safety for the Canberra community.

Mr Pratt interjecting—

MR SPEAKER: Order, Mr Pratt, please!

MR CORBELL: An additional $31 million are to be invested in community safety as a result of this year’s budget, including, of course, the establishment of a new police station in Belconnen—a very important initiative to anyone who would know the existing police facilities—and it builds on this government’s commitment in police services.

Opposition members interjecting—

MR SPEAKER: Order!

MR CORBELL: Our investment in police just leaves those opposite in the shade, absolutely in the shade.

Mr Pratt interjecting—

MR SPEAKER: Order, Mr Pratt!

MR CORBELL: An extra 122 police on the beat because of this government’s investment, a new police station in Woden and now a new police station in Belconnen. Those opposite, who love to beat the law and order drum, just wish they had a record like that when it came to investing in community safety.

Mr Pratt interjecting—

MR CORBELL: What did they do? Did they upgrade the Woden police station?

Opposition members interjecting—

MR SPEAKER: Order!

MR CORBELL: No, they didn’t.

Opposition members interjecting—

MR CORBELL: Did they deliver—

MR SPEAKER: Order! Mr Corbell, resume your seat, please. Cease interjecting, members of the opposition; otherwise I will issue you warnings.
