Correctional Services Department

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:14): Can the minister outline to the house whether he is aware of any other recordings that are being made within the department that are unknown to the people who are the subject of the recording?

The SPEAKER: Minister for Correctional Services.

Mr MARSHALL: Are there any other recordings that you are aware of in your department?

The SPEAKER: Yes, it is very clear. It doesn't need to be repeated.

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:14): There are a number of acts and a number of players in the justice system. In terms of the department of corrections, they have not recorded any meetings which involve industrial issues, etc., without the consent of the parties. If police, for example, from time to time exercise their powers under certain acts, I am certainly not going to elaborate those in this place.
