The Debate
What different members said when this bill was debated:
Gerard Maley CLP
“Madam Speaker, I present a Bill titled Correctional Services Legislation Amendment Bill 2025, Serial 12, and table the explanatory statement. I move that the Bill be now read a first time.”
Chanston Paech ALP
“Madam Speaker, this is an important debate. We just heard the Corrections minister’s update, which he refused to allow any other member to speak to. What we heard from his update, which many people have spoken about, is that this government ... Members interjecting.”
Khoda Patel CLP
“Madam Speaker, I support the Correctional Services Legislation Amendment Bill 2025, which is a crucial step in addressing the growing challenges faced by the Corrections system in the Northern Territory.”
Steven Edgington CLP
“Mr Deputy Speaker, I support the amendments to the Correctional Services Act. There has been a substantial increase in the adult prisoner population since we were elected, as we take action to get the Labor crisis under control. The crime crisis has been going on for the last eight years, prior to the CLP coming to government.”
Bill Yan CLP
“Madam Speaker, I support the Bill brought to this Chamber by the Corrections minister. I have heard some interesting things in debate today. I do not support most of them. I am probably the only person in here who can speak with any authority on this subject.”
Selena Uibo ALP
“Madam Speaker, as the Member for Gwoja stated, the Labor opposition will not support this Bill.”
