Mr BURKE - 2002-02-27
Yesterday, you told this House that between October and November last year, 78 prisoners were transferred between Darwin and Alice Springs. You said that 47 were Asian, nine were Caucasian and 22 were Aboriginal, while a further eight were voluntary transfers. On how many occasions, were prisoners transferred between Darwin and Alice Springs between the end of August and 11 November last year, and on what dates did those transfers occur?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I will have to take some parts of that question on notice because I do not have the detail with me. I can certainly confirm there were three flights transferring prisoners south to Alice Springs. In fact, I have some information, thank you, from my colleague. On 5 October 2001, a total of 12 prisoners - 12 Indonesians, in other words, 100% Indonesian. 19 October 2001 a total of 28 – 10 Aboriginal - 36%; five Caucasian - 18%; 13 Indonesian - 46%. 26 October 2001, a total of 10 - one Asian - 10%; nine Indonesian - 90%. 9 November 2001, a total of 28 - 12 Aboriginal - 43%; four Caucasian - 14%; 12 Indonesian - 43%. Those figures aggregate into the figures I gave yesterday.
