Legislative Council Fifty-First Parliament, Third Session (51-3) 51 3 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Port Augusta Prison PORT AUGUSTA PRISON The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council PORT AUGUSTA PRISON The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:40): Sir, I have a supplementary question. Is the minister suggesting that the regime was related only to building works and was therefore more restrictive, not less restrictive? The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO Legislative Council Minister for Correctional Services Minister for Road Safety Minister for Gambling Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs PORT AUGUSTA PRISON The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO (Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister for Gambling, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:40): In my ministerial statement yesterday I said that one of the factors— The Hon. G.E. Gago interjecting: The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO Legislative Council The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO: —yes, very secret—involved an exercise at the oval which had to be cancelled and prison officers were assigned to prisoners in the infirmary. The safety of Correctional Services officers is far more important than the cancellation of a particular exercise, and I fully support the operational decisions made at that prison. Again, as the minister, I am not responsible for the day-to-day operational decisions that are taken.
