Legislative Council Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time CCTV Cameras CCTV Cameras The Hon. T.A. FRANKS Legislative Council CCTV Cameras The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:13): Arising from the minister's answer—and I share his concerns about the behaviour of some of those detention centre officers—if a correctional services worker in this state was to try to cover a CCTV camera, would a penalty apply for that action? The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS Legislative Council Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety CCTV Cameras The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:14): A number was given to me this morning. It is a very large number of CCTV cameras that exist in our relatively new juvenile detention facilities in South Australia. It is very large. We also have obviously a large amount of CCTV cameras in adult prisons as well. If a DCS employee, a correctional services officer, attempted to cover up a CCTV camera with the view to obviously try to hide some actions they were engaging in, that would be something of great concern to me. As it stands right now, I am not familiar with what the immediate consequence of that would be for a DCS employee. Of course, the disciplining of that employee should they attempt to do such a thing would be a matter immediately before the chief executive. What I am happy to undertake, so that I can provide some more information to the honourable member, is what the rules and procedures are around CCTV footage in Corrections and, again, I am happy to share that information assuming, of course, that it is appropriate to do so.
