54390 (2024). Ingrid Leary to the Minister of Police: Does the Minister agree with Mental Health Foundation chief executive Shaun Robinson that with tasers being used at such high and increasingly high rates against some of the most vulnerable people, "What we have is an emergency response through the police to mental health and suicide issues that is totally not fit for purpose"; if so, what, if anything, will he do to address this?

Hon Mark Mitchell: I refer the Member to reply number 54389 (2024)
