Prison Release, Women

The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (15:09): Supplementary: is the minister concerned about reports of women being housed in temporary accommodation, such as dodgy hotels, that may not be able to appropriately ensure their safety? The minister referenced the range of housing solutions. I am interested to know whether she is concerned about the adequacy of accommodation currently available through the hotel system.

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Autism, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:10): I thank the member for his question. I am happy to look into those specifics if you have further details as well. As I said, I am always happy to discuss these matters and provide further details about the existing housing opportunities that are available.

The PRESIDENT: I am about to call the Hon. Mrs Henderson, who is about to ask her last question for a little while. On behalf of the chamber, I am sure that we all wish you well for your growing family. The Hon. Mrs Henderson.
