CHILD PROTECTION

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (14:40): The minister identified that extra resources were given as promised by minister Weatherill on 3 July 2008 and he said that it would be done as quickly as possible. My question is: when will it be completed?

The SPEAKER: I will consider that a question.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. G. PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Education and Child Development) (14:40): I met with Ms Deej Eszenyi just the other day to talk about a number of matters of interest to the committee and myself, and she advised me that they are progressing very well through the report. I expect that the work will be coming to a conclusion soon but I am not going to interfere with the timing of their report. This is very important. They will prepare the report and they will take as much time as they deem necessary, and they have the government's full support, so I believe that the report will be ready soon.
