Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (14:59): My question is again for the Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion. As the Premier committed to the house on 14 March last year that the first report would be released, barring information identifying young offenders, why is the minister unwilling to release even a portion of the second report with the security-sensitive information removed, as occurred in March 2012 for the initial report?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:59): Mr Speaker, as I mentioned in my previous answer, there were two reports: one dealt with the security issues, and one dealt with staffing issues. The Premier was quite right in what he said, and the report was released in redacted form. The second report does not deal with offenders: it actually deals with staffing, so what the Premier has said now and what I have acted upon is consistent.

There is no point in releasing the report in redacted form which deals with staffing issues. Like I said, it went to the issue of whether any staff member acted in a wilful manner or with misconduct which led to the breakout. As a result of that, the conclusion by the Crown Solicitor, more importantly, was that there was no evidence to make such a finding, so there are no security issues associated with the second report to be released.
