House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Youth Justice System Youth Justice System Mr GARDNER House of Assembly Morialta Youth Justice System Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (14:41): My question is to the Minister for Youth. Why did it take an assault on two staff members in October of last year for 19-year-old Aaron Jade Grenfell to be removed from juvenile justice and placed in an adult prison, despite 23 earlier incidents of alleged assault, attempted assault and other fights at Cavan that saw him remain in juvenile justice after the age of 18? 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 Youth Justice System The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:41): Mr Speaker, I previously held that portfolio and I'm aware that even though there are a number of people 18 and over in the youth justice system, they actually do require a court order to transfer them. If somebody has been sentenced to the youth justice system they actually then require an appropriate court order to shift them to an adult prison. So, the short answer is, you need to bring a matter before the court and the court approve that person being transferred to an adult prison.
