Rehabilitation Prison

Mr BATTY (Bragg) (14:36): My question is to the Minister for Correctional Services. Will the minister release the business case into a new rehabilitation prison in South Australia and, if not, why not?

The Hon. R.K. PEARCE (King—Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:36): I am very proud of the investments this government has been making into our correctional services. We have a proud record here in terms of having the best rate in terms of recidivism in the nation, and a lot of the investments we are making are to continue to ensure that prisoners and those who work in Corrections continue to remain safe, and that we continue to reduce those rates in our state to help keep our community safe.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Can I just ask the leader, the Premier, and the Minister for Trade to stop yelling out across the chamber, because I can't hear the minister's answer.
