Adelaide Remand Centre

Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (15:47): My question is again to the Minister for Correctional Services. Again, minister, have the private operators of the Adelaide Remand Centre reduced staffing ratios since taking over the running of the facility?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Playford is warned.

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Point of order: I am sure the shadow minister understands that he is not allowed to ask the same question in the same session, let alone one after the other.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! There is no point of order. The minister has the question. Does the minister need the question repeated?

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: The member opposite is not allowed to ask the same question twice.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! I have ruled on the point of order. The member for Elizabeth might repeat the question.

Mr ODENWALDER: Absolutely. My question is to the Minister for Correctional Services. Have the private operators of the Adelaide Remand Centre reduced staffing ratios since taking over the running of the facility?

The Hon. V.A. TARZIA (Hartley—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services) (15:49): I thank the honourable member for the question. I refer to my earlier answer.
