Prison Capacity

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (15:27): Can the minister advise the house what is the average unbudgeted cost per prisoner kept in that surge capacity?

The Hon. P. Caica: You've run out of questions today.

The SPEAKER: The member for Colton is warned. He is called to order, I'm sorry.

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:27): I thank the honourable member for his question. I will get that exact figure. I assume you want me to compare the average cost of a surge bed with standard bed in prison. I am happy to obtain that figure for you.
