Rigney, Mr R.G.

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:52): A supplementary: can the minister assure the house that there will be no provision in the updated procedures for DCS that will give the Department for Correctional Services the opportunity to detain people just in case they might have the legal authority to detain them?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:52): The standard operating procedures put together by DCS are an operational matter for DCS. What I will say is that it would be my expectation that those standing operating procedures will comply with the law.
