00:00 Hi, my name's Doug Bidler. I'm the Locusty Manager at Lotus Glen Correctional Centre

00:04 and I'm responsible for the locusty farming operations.

00:07 Here today, this is our small herd of weaners that we have on board.

00:13 We have about somewhere between 380-400 head we try to keep on site throughout the year.

00:20 This is all about job-ready skills for these guys to return back to their communities

00:25 with something that they can go on with to fulfil their needs for their families

00:31 and part of their rehabilitation process.

00:33 These guys are actually getting certified programs and training

00:37 to be able to do that back in their own homes and communities.
