          <by role="member" id="4343">Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (15:26):</by>  The minister's last answer said that he has previously outlined the surge capacity for when we are over capacity. Given that the entire totality of the surge capacity he has ever outlined is 99 cells, in addition to the 2,500 we have approved, and the minister has admitted that we have had more prisoners than those combined numbers, where are they? Where have they been kept?</text>

Those strategies continue. Every prisoner who is supposed to be behind bars is behind bars and the community is kept safe.</text>
