Immigrant Detention

Mr TELFER (Flinders) (16:04): My question is to Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services. Has the minister received advice on the circumstances of any released immigration detainees in South Australia who have refused to wear an electronic tracker? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr TELFER: It has been reported in the media today that a released immigration detainee, who apparently refused to wear an electronic tracker, has been uncontactable to police and they remain in the community at large. The federal government has refused to provide information about this case, including the individual's suspected whereabouts, criminal history and physical description.

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services) (16:04): I would obviously suggest to the member that he could, if he was endeavouring to seek information from the federal government, contact them or contact one of his members from the federal caucus. But, no, there is no advice for those individuals who are either here or seeking to travel to South Australia.
