REPAY SA

The Hon. S.G. WADE (15:01): Sir, I also have a supplementary question. Given that the majority of graffiti offenders are juveniles, what is the government doing with respect to restorative justice for juvenile offenders?

The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO (Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister for Gambling, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:01): I am not the Minister for Youth or the Attorney-General, but I think the honourable member opposite has been asleep since this government came to power. He might have heard about the Social Inclusion Unit or the Breaking the Cycle report and the millions of dollars where, through that social inclusion initiative, programs have been agreed to and are being rolled out in our community. He might also just recently have heard about ensuring that young people stay at school and the many initiatives there and also the many millions of dollars.

I understand that, in the southern suburbs in particular, the government funded a graffiti removal program for youth, initially with two councils, but since that time the two local councils have undertaken to continue with that program on their own.
