Corrective services—Prisons
26. Mr Adam Hort to the Minister for Corrective Services :
I have a
supplementary question. How could staff at Casuarina Prison be briefed on the
plan for a new prison before a decision by government was made?

AnswerView source ↗

As I said, no plan
has been presented to government. No-one has a briefing on anything, other than
what might be speculation around the need for a prison and a discussion amongst
prison officers who naturally have an interest in these matters. With regard to
an amount or anything of that nature that might be appended to building a new
prison, I think that the member will find it is just someone who has speculated
and thrown a number out there, and it makes a good story.
The Speaker: That concludes question time.
