NSW:NSW police minister wants asbestos answers

The NSW police minister is demanding to know why little has been done to remove asbestos,
since traces of the deadly material were first discovered in police buildings three years
ago.

NSW Police announced last week that about 460 properties have been found to contain
at least some asbestos or lead paint.

But the union says police knew about a broken asbestos sheeting inside a command building
at Wetherill Park, in Sydney's southwest, in 2008.

Police Minister MIKE GALLACHER has now demanded a full report from police management
by the end of the week.
