My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Minister, this week we learnt that a detainee that your government released into the community had been charged with nine offences, including failing to comply with reporting obligations by contacting a child without reporting it to the police. It was also alleged he used a mobile phone service and created email, TikTok, Instagram and Bigo accounts without informing the police. This detainee was jailed in 2012 for running a prostitution syndicate that preyed on children in state care and once traded a packet of cigarettes for sex with a 13-year-old girl. My question is this: will your government apply for a community safety detention order in relation to this detainee?
