Adelaide Remand Centre

Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (15:47): My question is to the Minister for Correctional Services. Have the private operators of the Adelaide Remand Centre reduced staffing ratios since taking over the running of the facility?

The Hon. V.A. TARZIA (Hartley—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services) (15:47): I thank the honourable member for the question. I am advised pursuant to the contract that Serco are certainly obligated to maintain an agreed level of staffing, and that through the ARC transition, I believe that all previous staff were certainly given the opportunity to transition to new jobs in the prison system.
