Correctional Services Monitoring Device Outage

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (13:45): My question is to the Minister for Correctional Services. Why hasn't the minister inquired as to whether or not victims on the Victims' Register were informed of the outage that occurred last week?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (13:45): As I said, we have worked through this process and we have worked through the faults. I'll discuss that with the department of corrections.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The leader, the deputy leader and the member for Kaurna are warned. They are warned. Members on my right will not interject.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: Thank you, Mr Speaker. As I said, during the course of action, the action was to fix the situation and get the situation in hand, and that is what we worked to do. By the time everyone who went through the process was contacted, was found to be where they were meant to be through physical doorknocking and/or visiting their premises and/or by phone calls, everyone was where they were meant to be. It wasn't until afterwards that one person was found to have deviated off the journey on the bus trip, which was reported in the media yesterday. Everyone was where they needed to be, so there was no concern.
