DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIVE SERVICES —
OFFENDER STRATEGY
77. Mr P. PAPALIA to the Minister for Corrective Services:
I have a supplementary question.
Will the minister reintroduce the family intensive team program—the
award-winning, internationally proven family intensive team program—for
high-end juvenile offenders that the minister's government axed in its
second year of office?

AnswerView source ↗

Member for Warnbro, we are reviewing all these programs, and
we will have a look at the ones that work and the ones that do not work. I am
not going to take the member's word on which ones work and which ones
do not work. We will have a look at what experts have to say, what the
judiciary has to say and what a lot of different people have to say as to the
effectiveness of all these programs, and we will put the resources into the
ones that work and we will probably pull the resources out of the ones that do
not work, and that will get the best value for money for the taxpayer.
