In relation to the Minister’s answer to Question on Notice No. 5781 which states that I had been given an incorrect answer to Question on Notice No. 5151, where the Minister denied that he or his Department had been alerted to deficiencies in bone-testing in under-age Indonesian child prisoners, I ask:
(a) will the Minister table advice received in June–July 2010 relating to independent prison visitor advice regarding Indonesian children imprisoned at Hakea adult prison; and
(i) if not, why not; and
(b) is the Minister’s corrected answer in Question on Notice No. 5781, claiming that advice was first received in late 2010, also incorrect?

(a)-(b) The raising of issues in relation to the age of Indonesian prisoners is an ongoing dialogue involving a range of public and private individuals as well as the Indonesian Consulate and Federal Authorities.
The Department of Corrective Services has made, and will continue to make further inquiries about individuals when their age is brought into legitimate contention. This has involved inquiries by the Federal Police, Indonesian Police, liaison and visitation by Indonesian Consulate Officials and with the prisoners themselves. Interpretation services have been made available to ensure individuals are fully aware of their rights and the process for age determination court hearings by their respective lawyers.
