Prisoner Early Release

Mr BATTY (Bragg) (14:32): My question is to the Minister for Correctional Services. How many prisoners have been released from prison before their non-parole period expires during this term of government?

The Hon. R.K. PEARCE (King—Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:33): I am able to advise the house that these numbers have been consistent—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Members on my right and the leader can come to order, because I can't hear the minister.

The Hon. R.K. PEARCE: As I was saying, I can advise the house that these numbers have been consistent for a number of years over multiple terms. In fact, when I have had a look back on the numbers, I note that the peak of these numbers actually occurred in 2019.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Members on my right will come to order.
