Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (15:37): My question is to the Premier. Why did the Premier break his no-privatisation agenda promise prior to the last state election and privatise a maximum security prison?

The Hon. V.A. TARZIA (Hartley—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services) (15:37): Despite the fact that the question did contain an array of argument, I would respectfully refer back to my extensive initial statement on this matter. As I said, I really don't think that now is the time to play politics on this issue. There is a comprehensive investigation—

Mr Malinauskas: Now is the time to face up to questions about your own policy.

The SPEAKER: Order, the leader!

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, members on my left! The Minister for Correctional Services has the call. He will be heard in silence.

The Hon. V.A. TARZIA: I refer to my earlier statement.
