CHILD PROTECTION

Mr PISONI (Unley) (14:59): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Is it appropriate that the western suburbs school dealing with the rape of an eight year old was sent an education department social worker who is also a parent at the school and whose children were in the care of the convicted rapist?

The SPEAKER: I think that question is seeking an opinion, which is not normally asked for, but, minister, you may choose to answer it.

The Hon. G. PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Education and Child Development) (15:00): I am happy to answer the question once I've established the facts, so that is what I will do.
