PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:06):</by>  I thank the honourable member the leader for his question. I have the utmost confidence in my management of the corrections department to manage the situation. As we speak, management are in discussions with the PSA. Of utmost importance are two things: one is that the community is safe, and so are the prisoners. So, the allegation made by the leader is just hyperbole, like most of what he says these days.</text>
