CHILD PROTECTION

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (14:44): My question is again to the Minister for Education and Child Development with responsibility for child protection. Is it the case that a Families SA staff member visited the 'house of horrors' on a number of occasions prior to police intervention in June 2008 but did not report the conditions at the house and, if so, why?

The Hon. G. PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Education and Child Development) (14:44): It would appear that, according to all reports, that is the case.
