Domestic Violence

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (14:57): Supplementary: given that the answer to the question on notice the minister provided yesterday to the house suggested that there were 300 program hours to be delivered this year, which is about double last year's which had eight prisoners going through it—

The SPEAKER: The member for Morialta will ask a question.

Mr GARDNER: Can the minister confirm that that is in the order of the number of prisoners who are going to receive the program?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:58): I stand by the comment I just made. I said we are trying to reallocate some resources. I was advised by the CE that they are working on it at the moment and, when I receive more definitive advice, I will pass it on to the member.
