CAVAN TRAINING CENTRE

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (15:10): My question is for the Premier.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Mr GARDNER: Now that the government has received the report of the investigation into the Cavan breakout, will the Premier commit to releasing the findings of that report to the parliament and the public?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Minister for State Development) (15:10): Yes, we will release those elements of the report that are—

Mr Pisoni: Not 'those elements': the report.

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: Would you like to hear the answer?

Mr Pisoni: Not 'those elements': the report.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: You see, the way it works is you get to ask the questions and I get to supply the answers, otherwise it gets very confusing. The answer to the question is: yes, we will release the report, but it is subject—

Mr Gardner: When?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: Well, that's a different question, so you can ask another one after you get to ask your first one.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: I am actually going to give them the answer they want to hear, but they are so desperate to hear bad news that they keep jumping the gun. We are going to release the report. The only caveat on that is, of course, the Young Offenders Act, which requires certain information not be made public; but, subject to that caveat, we are more than happy to release the final report when it is delivered to the minister.
