MS GALLAGHER (Molonglo—Minister for Health, Minister for Children and Young People, Minister for Disability and Community Services, Minister for Women) (5.20): I move amendment No 12 circulated in my name [see schedule 2 at page 2541].
Clause 146 provides for the declaration of prohibited areas in a detention place by the chief executive. This government amendment replaces subclause (2) with a requirement on the chief executive to take reasonable steps to bring each prohibited area to the attention of all young detainees. This amendment will allow the chief executive to notify all young detainees of prohibited areas through the general communications—for example, signs and resident handbooks—in contrast with notifying individual detainees. This amendment is expressed in similar terms to section 85 (2) of the Corrections Management Act 2007.
