Question Time

CHILD PROTECTION

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:18): My question is to the Premier. Can the Premier confirm that it is his position that, when he was education minister, his chief of staff did not advise him in any way of the rape of an eight year old that occurred at a state school's after hours care service?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Minister for State Development) (14:19): I made a ministerial statement to the house at the beginning of the session today which addresses that very issue.

Mrs Redmond: That's not the answer.

The SPEAKER: Order!

Mrs Redmond interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Mrs Redmond interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition, order, or you will leave the chamber! Order! The member for Ramsay.
