Correctional Services Monitoring Device Outage

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (13:38): My question is to the Minister for Correctional Services. Has a review been conducted into any monitored sex offenders breaching set exclusion zones as a result of last week's outage?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (13:38): Thank you very much. I think this was widely reported in the media and I think even at the press conference that the member for Lee didn't want to attend. It was outlined and all that work was done and gone through.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: As the leader would know with these devices, whilst they were offline they still do record the data of where everyone went—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The minister has the call. The members for Ramsay and Reynell will not interject.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: The leader couldn't hear, so I was waiting—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Kaurna and the member for Reynell are warned.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: I am not joking around. The leader couldn't hear my answer; I'm waiting to give the answer. If you would stop interrupting—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Playford is also warned. The minister has the call. As soon as members cease interjecting the minister will return with his answer. Thank you.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: Thank you, Mr Speaker. It is a serious issue and I want the leader to be able to hear the answer. As I was explaining, while these devices went offline, where they went was recorded in the devices. When the devices came back online, all that information was uploaded back into the system. So anyone who went in an exclusion zone or broke the boundaries of where they could go or the conditions of their electronic monitoring was followed up and action was taken against them. Anyone who did go into the wrong area was acted upon, as far as I am aware. None of the people you refer to went outside their exclusion zone.
