GREENOUGH REGIONAL
PRISON — CRITICAL INCIDENT REVIEW —MINISTER FOR CORRECTIVE SERVICES
998. Mr Z.R.F. KIRKUP to the Minister for Corrective
Services:
I have a supplementary question.
Instead of trying to deflect on the Leader of the Opposition in particular, why
will the minister not accept full and unconditional responsibility and stand
down?

AnswerView source ↗

Following that line of argument, why
did the member for Warren–Blackwood not stand down over and again
during the riots at Banksia Hill Detention Centre?
Mr D.T. Redman interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Warren–Blackwood!
Mr F.M. LOGAN : Compare the
cost of this riot—$2.4 million, which we picked up through insurance—with
the damage from the incidents and injuries to the staff at Banksia Hill and ask
the member for Warren–Blackwood why he did not resign.
