I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question. I have a response on behalf of the Minister for Corrective Services.
The member's question, which was very detailed,
refers to a meeting dating back to 2009 of which records need to be located,
and seeks information that is not readily available. I therefore request that
the member place the question on notice.
