Is the minister aware of reports that officers from the Acacia Prison in Western Australia were sent to Christmas Island to assist in securing the facility after mass rioting? What protections were put in place by the government to ensure that prisoners did not escape or run riot while the guards were off doing the government’s dirty work?
