CHILD PROTECTION

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:06): I have a supplementary question, Madam Speaker. Why is it that the Premier cannot, or will not, rule out whether his then adviser Jadynne Harvey informed him or discussed with him in some way the rape of an eight year old at a state school?

The SPEAKER: I consider that another question. Premier.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Minister for State Development) (14:06): This matter was also dealt with, clearly, in my ministerial statement. It was dealt with clearly.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: I know they want to come in here and continue to agitate this question but it has been clearly asked and answered.
