Legislative Council Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Indigenous Incarceration Indigenous Incarceration The Hon. T.A. FRANKS Legislative Council Indigenous Incarceration The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:30): Supplementary: will this government commit to a target for the reduction in the number of Indigenous incarcerations, which target continues to fall? The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS Legislative Council Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety Indigenous Incarceration The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:30): There is no specific target that currently forms part of government policy. That being said, I thank the honourable member for her question, and I am aware of her keen interest in the subject. The government and I are continuing to learn about the complexity of this area of public policy. Recently I had the opportunity to attend the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court's forum that he held, again, at the Port Adelaide footy club, to discuss this issue. It is an incredibly complex policy area that I know the honourable member has a degree of awareness of. But in direct answer to her question, there is not currently a specific target, but I do not think the lack of a target prohibits or inhibits our capacity to continue to work in this area.
