Prisoner Support and Treatment

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (14:41): Supplementary, sir: just for the minister's information, and I could be wrong, but it is my understanding (and I wonder whether it is his) that submissions to the select committee actually closed last Friday. It may well be that his department has an extension to make a submission, so could he chase that up as well?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:41): Like I said, I said from some distance I was aware of the Senate inquiry. I'm not familiar with any specific submission that has been made up until this point. I suspect that if the Department for Correctional Services thought it was appropriate for it to be able to make a submission, then that may have occurred already. I'm not advised of such a submission occurring; I would have expected to be, had it.

For the sake of accuracy, that's something I want to take on notice just to double-check. I suspect that if there was an intention to make a submission, not only would I already have been advised of it but it would have been made on time. Nevertheless, I am more than happy to make those inquiries, and inform the honourable member and the chamber accordingly.
