JUVENILE DETENTION

In reply to Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (1 May 2012).

The Hon. G. PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Education and Child Development): With regard to the young person concerned, I am unable to provide specific information about her circumstances. However I can confirm that my department did not make the submission as claimed.

No young people are held at Magill Training Centre unless there is a police or court mandate in place where they have been charged pending a court hearing, remanded or given a custodial sentence.
