Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:12): Thank you, Mr Speaker. My question is to the Minister for Correctional Services. Did the minister review the official public sector cost comparator before awarding the contract to Serco for the management of the ARC?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:12): I thank the member, again, for the question. We went through a very thorough process in putting this contract in place. We have ticked off all the boxes we needed to and we are very happy with the deal we have and what we are going to deliver for the South Australian people.
