Yatala Labour Prison Incident

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (15:15): I have a supplementary question. Based on the minister's answer, can the minister inform the chamber whether South Australia has the highest remandee percentage of any state in Australia?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:16): I am not in a position to be able to inform the house of that but what I can say is that the remand rate is high. Currently, the remand rate in South Australia, as of today, is 41.26 per cent.
