Prison Staff Drug and Alcohol Testing

Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (14:35): My question is to the Minister for Correctional Services. What types of serious incidents will result in prison staff being drug and alcohol tested under your policy?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:35): Sorry, can I have that again?

Mr ODENWALDER: Which types of serious incidents will trigger the testing?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: I appreciate the question. We have a policy to test staff, as you point out. That policy will be rolled out in full and we will be testing staff as needed and as wanted—

Mr Odenwalder: But when? What type of incidents will trigger it?

The SPEAKER: I think the question was clear.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: It will be a random test. Sorry, I did miss the question. It will be a random test and people will be tested accordingly.

The SPEAKER: Is there a supplementary? The leader.
