CAVAN TRAINING CENTRE

In reply to the Hon. J.S. LEE (15 March 2012).

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): The Minister for Police has advised:

1. The actions taken by SAPOL in relation to this matter are considered to be operational in nature and part of SAPOL's core business. On that basis, the individual component costs are not identified.

I am advised:

2. Issues raised by the Public Service Association since 2009 until the escape which have been implemented, amounted to $289,669. The PSA has not formally raised any issues relating to security measures at Cavan Training Centre since the escape.
