          <by role="member" id="629">The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO (Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister for Gambling, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs):</by>  The honourable member has asked for information detailing the basis upon which the Department for Correctional Services Chief Executive advised the Murray Bridge community on 1 September 2008 that 75 per cent of staff would be willing to move.</text>
        <text id="200902189945c8bc620d4235a0000280">I am advised that at no time has my Chief Executive Officer asserted that 75 per cent of staff would be willing to move to Murray Bridge.</text>
        <text id="200902189945c8bc620d4235a0000281">Comment was only made in reference to the current residential addresses of the existing Mobilong Prison staff that 65 per cent now live in Murray Bridge and 95 per cent live in Murray Bridge or the surrounding areas, including the Adelaide Hills.</text>
        <text id="200902189945c8bc620d4235a0000282">Based on this fact, it is anticipated that over time the majority of staff working in the new prisons will be living in the Murray Bridge area.</text>
