Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. The opposition know that individuals on parole are subject to strict supervision conditions which are informed by the advice of law enforcement and corrective services agencies. At all times parolees are under the close supervision of state and territory corrective services agencies. I can also advise the House that, when in government, those opposite made similar decisions to release offenders on parole. As the Attorney-General's Department advised Senate estimates just two days ago, a Liberal attorney-general and a Liberal assistant minister released three offenders on parole between 2020 and 2022.
