          <by role="member" id="1804">Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg) (15:19):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Families and Communities. Was the legal advice to 'be incredibly cautious' in respect of the five-year-old boy who died at Modbury Heights two weeks ago to ensure that there would be no interference with the pending criminal case or to protect against self-incrimination, or to avoid embarrassment to the minister, or all of the above?</text>
