O'BRIEN (Napier—Minister for Finance, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:02): </by> I am glad that the shadow is compounding his errors. The most obvious thing that I would do would be to establish the facts, which I did, and I received a briefing. The way in which drugs are entering our prison system is, by and large—nearly 100 per cent—by way of visitor interaction. There is no evidence of systemic corruption within the Correctional Services workforce and, also, there is no evidence to support the other claim that the member for Stuart made this morning that contractors doing building work in our prisons are also corrupt.</text>
