House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, First Session (53-1) 53 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Correctional Services Correctional Services Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN House of Assembly Stuart Correctional Services Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (16:46): Can the Minister for Correctional Services explain what plans the government has to increase the bed capacity in our prisons? The Hon. A. PICCOLO House of Assembly Light Minister for Disabilities Minister for Police Minister for Correctional Services Minister for Emergency Services Minister for Road Safety Correctional Services The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (16:46): I would like to thank the honourable member for the question. The first thing we need to remember with correctional services is that our primary obligation is to ensure that any court decision to put somebody into custody is actually undertaken. We need to make sure that the community is kept safe—that is our primary objective. It is well known that we are at capacity and, on some days, over capacity. The strategy will be twofold: to build some increased capacity in the existing facilities and also, as the budget allows, to build new facilities. Mr Goldsworthy House of Assembly Mr Goldsworthy: Put in containers. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Kavel was a serious agitator in the previous parliament and I call him to order for his interruption of the minister's answer, and I know the Attorney-General agrees with me. The member for Stuart.
