Personal Explanation

STRATHMONT CENTRE

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (15:46): I seek leave to make a personal explanation in regard to a statement I made in the House of Assembly Estimates Committee.

Leave granted.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: Sir, on the 25th day of June when asked by the member for Morialta how many clients, if any, at the Strathmont Centre were subject to community detention orders, I stated that I had advice that there were four people currently under section 32 orders and one who was on licence from the court.

Having had the opportunity to read the question more closely in Hansard and on a very strict interpretation of the question, I am advised that the answer is in fact one, not four. There is one person living at Strathmont under licence from the court, which is closest to a community detention order, which is what I was asked.
