Adelaide Remand Centre
Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (14:56): My question again is to the Minister for Correctional Services. Is there CCTV in the kitchen area of the Adelaide Remand Centre?
The Hon. V.A. TARZIA (Hartley—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services) (14:56): As I was alluding to before, where the opposition is going with all these questions, in my opinion, is seeking to obtain a series of facts that will certainly be subject to investigation. They are certainly subject to the investigation. I have had the chance, as I alluded to before, to reflect on other instances that occurred, and I have also looked at other ministers and what they have done in this portfolio area because—
Mr Malinauskas: Is that all you've done?
The SPEAKER: Leader!
Mr Malinauskas: Don't worry about the problems, worry about the politics.
The SPEAKER: The leader will cease interjecting.
The Hon. V.A. TARZIA: I might leave one particular comment with you, sir, and it goes:
I would encourage all members within the chamber, particularly those from the opposition who may be seeking to politicise this issue, to allow themselves to be informed by the facts as they come to light.
That was the Leader of the Opposition on 27 September 2016. And these facts will come to light. As I pointed out, there is an investigation. It is a thorough investigation. We are not going to pre-empt that investigation. We want to know what happened, how it happened and why it happened, and we want to do everything we can as a government to make sure that this type of incident doesn't happen again. The details that the opposition is seeking, respectfully, I would say are subject to this investigation.
