WADE (14:28):</by>  Could the minister confirm from his answer to Mr Ridgway's question that he has no intention of an internal Department for Correctional Services review in anticipation of the Coroner's inquest, considering that the lead time for a Coroner's inquest is often two or three years?</text>

          <by role="member" id="5084">The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:29):</by>  I haven't received any information as it stands that necessitates any inquiry or review internally. That may yet present itself and, indeed, one may present itself externally. But what we are not going to be doing is being a bull at a gate, or putting the cart before the horse, or jumping to conclusions. What we need to do is ascertain the facts, ascertain exactly what took place, and that will give us the capacity to be able to inform an appropriate response rather than an ill-considered jumping to conclusions.</text>
        <text id="20160927c3e815905aa44461a0000082">I would encourage all members within the chamber, particularly those from the opposition who may be seeking to politicise this issue, to allow themselves to be informed by the facts as they come to light. That, of course, will inform what may be an appropriate response. As it stands, to answer the honourable member's question directly, there is not currently any intent on my part to order an additional external or internal review. We will wait and see as information comes to light. That, of course, can inform what next steps need to be taken, if indeed any at all.</text>
