Can the Attorney-General advise how many youths were denied home detention bail by the Youth Court for the 2008 calendar year on the basis that no monitoring anklets or bracelets were available? The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council Minister for Mineral Resources Development Minister for Urban Development and Planning Minister for Small Business YOUTH HOME DETENTION The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business): The Minister for Families and Communities has provided this information: In the 2008 calendar year six young people were denied home detention bail by the Youth Court on the basis that no anklets or bracelets were available. Following December 2008, when changes were made to home detention systems, no young person has been denied home detention bail owing to a lack of bracelets or anklets. The Department for Families and Communities and the Department for Correctional Services continue to work closely together to ensure home detention bail with a bracelet or anklet is always an option available to the court.
