PAROLE BOARD WARRANTS

Mr GRIFFITHS (Goyder—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:43): My questions are to the Minister for Police. Can the minister confirm that there are more than 240 warrants outstanding for breach of parole and that 54 of these date back to 2005. What action has been taken on these outstanding warrants?

The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Police, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:43): I am not sure that that figure is correct. I have spoken to the commissioner's office and it is doing some work on that figure. Once that work has been completed I will be able to advise the house accordingly.

Ms Chapman: Near enough?

The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT: No, not near enough; straight off.
