Machete amnesty

David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (18:01): (1814) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Police. It was announced recently that the government will provide 45 boxes at police stations for people to drop off their machetes. The stated cost of this is $13 million, or around $300,000 per box. Could the minister please provide a breakdown of the costings of these machete boxes?
