CAVAN TRAINING CENTRE

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (15:00): My question is again to the Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion. As minister Hunter advised the Legislative Council on 18 September 2012 that 'the department will be actioning a range of security measures to minimise opportunities for escape', can the minister advise the house of the nature and the cost of the upgraded security measures at Cavan since March 2012?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (15:01): I cannot give the exact costing. What I can advise the house and the member, in answer to his question, is that there were some additional staff in place. There were a change in management, additional training and a review of procedures and policies, which obviously would have cost some money, but I don't have those figures at hand at the moment. I am happy to come back with those figures.
