PRISONS, DRUG TESTING

Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop) (15:01): My question is to the Minister for Correctional Services. How many drug tests were conducted in South Australian correctional centres in the years ending 2006, 2007 and 2008, and how many of those tests returned a positive result?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Gambling, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:01): Surprisingly, I do not actually have that with me, but I will endeavour to get a result for the member for MacKillop. Perhaps when he takes the time to visit a prison, we can show him how we do it, and drug test him.
