Question Time

Humphrys, Mr C.C.

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:15): My question is to the Minister for Correctional Services. Has convicted sex predator, Colin Humphrys, commenced any prerelease program, normally provided to prisoners who receive a court-ordered release?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:15): I thank the member for his question. I know that he asked me about this yesterday and, as you can appreciate, I can't go into any detail about the prerelease conditions. They are conversations I have in confidence with the appropriate agencies and I will keep that in confidence. What I can say is that I have every confidence in the police and Corrections to put in place the protocols that are needed, and through the offender management plan working group they put that in place and, for anyone who is released, they are accommodated.
