          <by role="member" id="5084">Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (15:36):</by>  My question is to the Premier. Given that this is the first escape from the Remand Centre in decades, does the Premier still believe that the privatisation of a maximum security prison is a good idea?</text>

I would repeat what I said earlier: I think that at the moment this is certainly not the time to be playing petty political games.
