Electronic monitoring
58. Mr Adam Hort to
the Minister for Corrective Services:
I refer to the minister's comments yesterday that there is
no place in Western Australia where electronic monitoring cannot be done. Why
are the minister's comments in contradiction to what the Premier said yesterday
and what corrections officials have told the courts in Bunbury and Albany—that
monitoring was not available due to a lack of resourcing?

I thank the member for his question. What I said yesterday
was in response to the member's question. The member asked me specifically
whether there were any places in the metropolitan area where monitoring was not
available, and I said that there is nowhere in Western Australia that is not
monitored because it is done from the State Operations Command Centre.
Department of Justice and adult community corrections personnel do that,
sitting alongside police officers. It covers the entire state.
