Backbencher DeVent backs call for Governor to relinquish Police powers
13 June 2007 | The Royal Gazette
Government backbencher Ashfield DeVent is backing Senator David Burch's call for the Governor to hand over control of the Police.
The former Works and Engineering Minister told The Royal Gazette: "Most governments run their police service. I don't think we have enough say in what is done and how the Police operate.
"I believe at the moment the Police force is not as effective as it could be and should be. Something has to be done. I think ultimately the Minister who uses taxpayers' money to fund the service must have a greater say in what and how they do." MORE! »
