7170 (2025). Tamatha Paul to the Minister for Children: Has there been any physical incidents recorded at the government's military style bootcamp pilot, including - but not limited to - incidents between staff?

Hon Karen Chhour: No. I refer the Member to the interim evaluation of the Military-Style Academy Pilot which confirmed that there were no physical altercations between the young people or with staff during the residence stage.
