Tassone, Mr B.

The Hon. A.L. McLACHLAN (15:04): If I understand the minister correctly he is not aware. Could the minister undertake to make inquiries as to whether the arrangements negotiated with the prison contained any confidentiality requirements?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:05): Let me be a bit clearer. I have received advice as to the information that I can share publicly so, presumably, if there are provisions regarding confidentiality arrangements within the contractual arrangement they do not extend to the information that I have already shared publicly and that I can continue to share publicly. I am happy to seek advice as to whether or not there are confidentiality arrangements in place. The only reason why I couldn't disclose that, that I can foresee, is if the confidentiality arrangement applies to a confidentiality arrangement itself. Nevertheless, I am happy to seek advice on that.
