          <by role="member" id="3127">The Hon. G. PORTOLESI:</by>  During question time today I provided information to the house suggesting that a meeting was currently occurring between an officer from the Department for Education and Child Development and a parent. Shortly after making this statement I became aware that this parent was in the gallery which gave me reason to question the advice I was given. I have since checked and I wish to advise the house that this meeting did not occur at that time.</text>
