Correctional Services (Accountability and Other Measures) Amendment Bill

Second Reading

Adjourned debate on second reading.

(Continued from 10 September 2020.)

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (17:33): I rise to speak very briefly to the Correctional Services (Accountability and Other Measures) Amendment Bill 2020. I received correspondence this morning in response to my request for certain submissions from stakeholders. I was advised by the minister's office:

You will need to seek them directly from the stakeholders (i.e. to ensure they permit to providing them).

Sorry I couldn't be of further assistance.

This I thought had been addressed under the Weatherill government. It is a most unnecessary obfuscation of the democratic process, so I seek leave to conclude my comments.

Leave granted; debate adjourned.
