(1) I refer to the Repay WA scheme and ask for each of the 2013-2014, 2014-2015, 2015-2016 years, what are the total number of hours service undertaken by offenders, how many offenders were involved, and what were the major projects worked upon? (2) For the same years, can you provide a breakdown of work conducted by young offenders, and that performed by adult offenders? (3) For the same periods, can you advise how many not for profit and community organisations nominated for work projects, and how many were in fact performed?
