Ben CARROLL (Niddrie – Minister for Education, Minister for WorkSafe and the TAC) (14:16): I made it very clear, and it is my firm expectation, that young people that are wearing ankle bracelets or GPS monitoring devices are not suitable to be in the mainstream education setting. I made what I considered a commonsense call to put a stop to that idea, which was an internal idea from a department. I know mainstream schools are not appropriate. That is why the Minister for Youth Justice is leading this review and is leading this work on electronic bail, and I support the good work that he is doing, as is the Attorney-General.
