          <by role="member" id="1813">Mrs REDMOND (Heysen) (14:55): </by> My question is again to the Minister for Correctional Services. Does the minister believe that his offending history sets the right example for him to retain his post as Minister for Youth and Minister for Correctional Services; and how does he intend to explain his behaviour to youth groups and offender rehabilitation bodies?</text>

          <by role="member" id="633">The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Gambling, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:56): </by> Unlike what members opposite might think, I am not the voice of youth in South Australia: I am simply here to hear their voices. I am not here to pretend to know what each and every single group of youth thinks and how they are affected. My job is to give them a voice, and I do that and I do it well. The opposition claims that I need to be perfect to be their voice. I do not claim to be their voice: I claim to listen to their voices. There is a difference, and I do not understand why the opposition cannot see that. The idea of being a politician is to hear voices and make sure that those voices are addressed.</text>
