A funding boost for what the government describes as its "highly popular fog cannon subsidy scheme". An extra $11 million is going into the programme that picks up part of the cost of installing fog cannons into retail stores following an onslaught of ram raids and robberies - many by young offenders.
581 cannons have gone in to businesses - but more than 1600 applications have been approved for the $4000 subsidy.
Police Minister Ginny Anderson says she's pleased to be able to expand the scheme.
