          <by role="member" id="563">The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (15:08):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Families and Communities. When the minister made the claim that 'we had people go into that house and find semi naked boys in his bed', was the only alleged occasion the minister was referring to the attendance of departmental officer Mr Craig Reed on 22 December 1992, who attended Mr Easling's home to pick up one boy to take him to the Glandore unit? Is that the occasion, minister?</text>
