YOUR PAPERS, PLEASE
New laws allow suspects to be DNA tested
South Australian Premiere Mike Rann boasts that South Australia's forensic DNA database had grown by more than 11,000 this year compared with less than 500 last year.
Appearing on ABC TV's 7 o'clock bulletin, Mr Rann said that whereas the database formerly contained genetic identity profiles only of convicted criminals, new laws have made it possible now to include those who had been charged and those suspected of crime.
[The last time I saw Mr Rann he was dressed in a shin-length black leather overcoat and looked more like the State's Gruppen Fuhrer]
